Something More

Once upon a time, loneliness was my only companion
Self-destruction was my goal, and I was more than halfway there
I was so lost in my despair, I felt I was drowning
Couldn't seem to find my way, out of the dark into the day

And then You came along, You helped me to be strong- You stood by me even when I was wrong
You encouraged me, opened my eyes to see- You listened to me so patiently

Well, I was face down in a hole in the ground, and digging for more
'Til you believed in me, and helped me to see that I could be something more
Your love washed over me like waves upon a shore
Now it's clear to me that everything I see is only part of something more

Tried to ease the pain, so many ways, I sank deeper and deeper
Into a pit of despair with no one there to light my way
I needed someone to guide my way, and show I could be loved
I felt so alone 'til your love shone into my life

You loved me as I am, you offered me your hand, you asked for nothing in return but a friend
You encouraged me, opened my eyes to see, You listened to me so patiently

Well, I was face down in a hole in the ground, and digging for more
'Til you believed in me, and helped me to see that I could be something more
Your love washed over me like waves upon a shore
Now it's clear to me that everything I see is only part of something more

Pain is the payment for every single precious thing -- I know that Jesus paid it all
And even though today I've fallen to my knees -- One day I will be standing tall

Well, I was face down in a hole in the ground, and digging for more
'Til you believed in me, and helped me to see that I could be something more
Yeah, I was face down in a hole in the ground, and digging for more
'Til you believed in me, and helped me to see that I could be something more
Your love washed over me like waves upon a shore
Now it's clear to me that everything I see is only part of something more

Once upon a time, loneliness was my only companion ...
