Only You
by Kathleen HighamThe years crept slowly by
But suddenly I was old
My youthfulness betrayed me
Along with a heart so cold.
This soul was lost and lonely
When an empty life I made
A million tears and wasted years
Until at last I prayed.
When I was young I knew
Believed in all I'd do
When I was young, I was young
I had no thoughts of You.
In my mind I question
As I wonder, wonder why
How I lived through all the pain
Knowing someday I would die.
A sinful life before me
Has truly taken its toll
But You have come, You have come
And filled a broken soul.
When I was young I knew
Believed in all I'd do
When I was young, I was young
I had no thoughts of You.
So now I've read Your story
My heart I gave to You
My silver hair, a crown to me
There is nothing I can do.
Falling down upon my knees
I cried a broken plea
A rugged Cross, a bloody path
You gave Your life for me.
When I was young I knew
Believed in all I'd do
When I was young, I was young
I had no thoughts of You.
Each morning as I awake
I call Your Holy name
It touches me, releases me
Washed away my shame.
Now I wait in wonder
I am old, but I am new
Saved from hell, a broken heart
Having thoughts of only You.
