When you came to me, I knew you were an angel,
And I tried to find away to make you mine.
You gave to me, your love so free,
And it seemed like we had stopped the hands of time.
Then I saw that if it's love, it lasts forever,
And the fire keeps on burning without end.
But I couldn't keep it all for me,
And the greatest love is laying down your life for your friends.

Chorus:
And if you're far away, my heart will break,
But I'm comforted to know that Love will guide you.
And I know it's right, so shine your light
And share your love with those who need you too.

Now I can't say that for me it's always easy,
And I know sometimes I really feel afraid.
But in the night I'll hold on tight,
To the perfect Love that drives all fear away.
It's giving that gives life a brand new meaning,
It's trusting in God's Love that sets us free.
It breaks the chains, it heals the pain,
And I can only give to others what He gave to me.

[Repeat chorus twice]
