YOU SHOWED ME


Oh…The sweet reverence
Touching off inside
Mmm…the pure splendor
Witnessed with these eyes

I am ever so thankful 

For your lavish gifts
Enhancing the glory
Found in the life I live


~~~*Chorus*~~~
I only saw the darkness before
I knew that light was out there
If I would just unlock the doors
When we choose to remain blind
To the wonders that God gives outside
No one can be blamed for our own faults…
But you showed me
Showed me I could have it all
~~*~~

Oh…In the beginning

Was a photograph
One single flower
So perfectly cast

I was totally captured

Could not look away
I wanted to touch it
I went outside that day


~~~*Chorus*~~~
I only saw the darkness before
I knew that light was out there
If I would just unlock the doors
When we choose to remain blind
To the wonders that God gives outside
No one can be blamed for our own faults…
But you showed me
Showed me I could have it all
~~*~~

I marveled at the grace

Each petal displayed
Wandered down a path
To a bench down by the lake

Stayed to watch the sunset

Wished you could see it too
I couldn't be more hopeful
As my life begins anew…


~~~*Chorus*~~~
I only saw the darkness before
I knew that light was out there
You helped me unlock the doors
When we choose to remain blind
To the wonders that God gives outside
No one can be blamed for our own faults…
But you showed me
Showed me I could have it all
~~*~~
