You First Loved Me

The world has taken me from you

Lured me away by the beauty of a dream

But I am standing here now

To search no more

Because you first loved me

Your memory dimmed in the distance

But there was always the voice you taught to sing

Calling me home to my heart still belongs

To where you first loved me

Angels have stood

Tirelessly by my side

But now they're yours

And I can feel them fly

In the stillness of my silent prayer

I will place you in their care tonight

Tonight

And I will scatter the roses

Unto the snow where forever you will sleep

And you will know why I brought them here to you

Because you first loved

Because you first loved me

And I am standing here now

In grateful tears

Because you loved me

First loved me
