Love always escaped me
I just couldn't make it stay
Questions without answers
Were a part of every day
There were deep unspooken longings
That I never dared to say
But you saw my need
And rescued me
And touched me with your grace
You stepped into this lonely heart
And filled the empty space

What would I be without your love in my life making it worth while
And what would I do without your tenderness that's teaching me to smile
Cause who I am today is not who I would have been
In You my heart's more full of hope then I'd have ever dreamed
Oh Lord, without your mercy covering me
What would I be

Now I know just who I am
And I know where I belong
The emptyness that used to live
Inside of me is gone
I no longer feel the need
To reach for foolish things
Cause your love has a way
Of showing me what living means
But you saw my need
And resuced me
And touched me with your grace
You stepped into this lonely heart
And filled the empty space

What would I be without your love in my life making it worth while
And what would I do without your tenderness that's teaching me to smile
Cause who I am today is not who I would have been
In You my heart's more full of hope then I'd have ever dreamed
Oh Lord, without your mercy covering me
What would I be

Of the places you could live
You choose to live in me
This is more amazing
Then I ever could believe
I know your perfect sacrifice
Is what has given me new life
Oh what would I be

What would I be without your love in my life making it worth while
And what would I do without your tenderness that's teaching me to smile
Cause who I am today is not who I would have been
In You my heart's more full of hope then I'd have ever dreamed
Oh Lord, without your mercy covering me
What would I be
