I have run to the ocean

through the horizon, chased the sun

I've waited for the light to come

and at times I would give up

You have wrapped your loving arms 'round me

And with your love, I'll overcome

You have loved me when I was weak

You have given unselfishly

Kept me from falling, falling

Everywhere but my knees

[Chorus]

You set me free

to live my life

I've been on heaven's doorstep

with the door open, one foot inside

Please hush child, I'll tell you why

You have loved me when you were weak

You have given unselfishly

I Kept you from falling, falling

Everywhere but your knees
