[Verse 1]
Thinking about You and me
And how much You really mean to me
It's hard to put it in words
So I'll say it within this melody
You have affected my life
Gave me the will to wanna love again
All that was wrong You made right
Oh Lord You've come to be my closest friend
[Chorus A]
Oh Lord I love You
That's why I adore You
That's why I trust You
Just because You're You
[Verse 2]
Throughout my struggles You kept me strong
Throughout my troubles You help me to hold on
Even when I felt like letting go
You gave me a reason to love You so much more
So I give my love to You in this song
To let You know that it's there forevermore
Though I don't show it as much as I should, yeah
You stay the same You just show me love
[Chorus A x1]
[Channel]
From the way that You gave of Yourself
So willing to be all I need
And without any hesitation
I will do the same for You
[Chorus B]
Oh Lord I love You (That's why, that's why)
That's why I adore You
That's why I trust You (That's why, that's why)
Just because You're You
[Chorus B x1]

You, oh, oh, oh yeah
You, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
You, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
You, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
You, oh, oh, oh
