lyrics

I have loved you since before the day I first laid eyes on you
When you nestled in the comfort of my arms
And I promised you that very day that I would shelter you
From the troubles of this world and all its harms

And this love I have for you – it will never cease to be
It doesn't matter where life's pathway leads you on
Because there's nothing you could ever do to make the promise void
It's a promise that's renewed with every dawn

Even when the disappointments come – as they will surely do
From the pain there is no where you can hide
I will always be a resting place where you can be restored
From the fury of the storm and raging tide

For the world in which you live – shows no mercy to the weak
You know the wounded of this life they throw away
But when I see the sparrow fall and I notice where he lands
That's the same way that I care for you each day

So why are you concerned about the things you cannot change
I've recorded every hair upon your head
Just consider how I clothe you like the lilies of the field
And each morning I provide your daily bread

You will never have a care that escapes My watchful eye
You will never have a need I can't provide
Though the whole world might abandon you and leave you all alone
When you want me I'll be standing by your side
