You have spoken in the sunset You have whispered words of comfort in the wind You know everything about me Before my life began You held me in your hand You have walked these roads before me You have known the pain a broken heart can bear Won't You help me now to trust You Every single day I follow in Your way I live for You, I live for You When I think of all Your love has done for me I live for You Never looking back to what life used to be I live for You And everything I ever thought was mine I'd give it all away to have You in my life I see you in the crystal waters And I have felt You in the dark of my despair You have shown a love unfailing A river running deep That's welling up in me I live for You, I live for You When I think of all Your love has done for me I live for You Never looking back to what life used to be I live for You And everything I ever thought was mine I'd give it all away to have You in my life I know it's gonna take a sacrifice I want to see the world through Your eyes I live for You the rest of my life I live for You, I live for You When I think of all Your love has done for me I live for You Never looking back to what life used to be I live for You And everything I ever thought was mine I'd give it all away to have You in my life I live for You, I live for You When I think of all Your love has done for me I live for You Never looking back to what life used to be I live for You And everything I ever thought was mine I'd give it all away to have You in my life
