I am the lonely
The ones who slip away
I am the secret
The words we dare not say
I am the promise I’m about to break…again

I am the leader
Who cannot find the way
I am the preacher
Who somehow lost the faith
I am the beggar reaching out my hands…again

And I never saw you coming
I could never dream of running
I have never known such love before
My God, you come, come and breathe your breath in me
Steal away what’s left of me
Till you are mine and I am yours

I am the lover with no one to hold
I am the seeker with an empty soul
I’m everyone who’s ever lost hope

And I never saw you coming
I could never dream of running
I have never known such love before
My God, you come, come and breathe your breath in me
Steal away what’s left of me
Till you are mine and I am yours

Fall like stars on my shore
Still you are so much more

And I never saw you coming
I could never dream of running
I have never known such love before
My God, you come, come and breathe your breath in me
Steal away what’s left of me
Till you are mine and I am yours
