You first loved me

The world has taken me from you
Learn me away with the beauty of a dream
But I am standing here now to search no more
Because you first loved me

You showed me love can be patient
And should be given and taken tenderly
How I still long for the arms that held me then
The one who first loved me

I know you stood and watched me walk away
Letting me go, not standing in my way
In the darkness of my deepest heart
I have seen the light you are to me, to me

So I will ask for forgiveness
And try to prove every day that I will be
Willing to give you my life eternally
Because you first loved
Because you first loved me

And I am standing here now to search no more
Because you first loved
Because you first loved me
