You know and You see
The times of my defeat
When I fail to realize
Your kindness reaches
Through all my fragile fears
Of wasting any years
And I see You go beyond
My silent feelings
Even when I wrote my life away
You still receive me
Even when I wrote my life away
You still receive me
(Wooah, Yeah)
You took this fading heart
And softened every part
I'll rest in light of what
You've promised to me
Even when I wrote my life away
You still receive me
Even when I wrote my life away
You still receive me
(Wooah, Yeah)
I'll always stay strong
Because I feel You holding on now
To You I belong and I know
And You heal me
And You heal me
And You heal me
Even when I wrote my life away
You still receive me
Even when I wrote my life away
You still receive me
Even when I wrote my life away
You still receive me
(Wooah, yeah)
Cause I feel Your forearms around me
And I know that I'll never escape from You
