It’s You

Uneasy and doubting everything
Just waiting for the sway
of the sweet sound to arrive
That was me
missing Your sight over me

Which came and shouted quietly 
that everything’s going to be okay

And one day 
I realized it hasn’t melody anymore
Either joy or life
that I used to feel before
That was just a still wind
From a loud silence
that made me 
no longer know
where you were

So quiet and talkative I found myself
Waiting for You to come
Still knowing You never left me
but I was the one 
who gave up on staying
So I come back 
sit down and ask
for forgiveness
for the daring cowardness of my heart

You’re the only One that I want
The One who saves, comforts my soul
That overflows the healed wound
from the purest blood
that crosses the heart
that never stopped loving me

It’s You
It’s You, Jesus, who I want
It has always been You
It never stopped being You
