Saved

You took a leap of faith.
I thought you'd never really see.
I thought about everything you knew.
How could this ever be?
You never really understand,
Until you open up your eyes
Confronting what's wrong and right
Letting go of the pain then and now.
You would listen,
Promise faith and hope.
Showing me light in darkness,
Saving me.
I told you that I was broken
And watched the clouds form in our eyes,
In your crying eyes
Back on that rainy night when
You matched your steps to my pace.

You knew I was reckless and tired;
I wasn't fooling you.
You knew all my fears, my cover, my lies
And seemingly endless sins.
But what about that night?
We took a few tumbles and falls.
Still you wouldn't let go of my hand,
No matter the price or cost.
And
You would listen,
Promise faith and hope.
Showing me light in darkness,
Saving me.
I told you that I was broken
But through it all you knew I'd rise
While you dried my eyes.
Back on that rainy night when
You showed me the meaning of true grace.

Oh how sweet the memory when
You would listen,
Promise faith and hope.
Showing me light in darkness,
Accepting me.
I told you that I was broken
And watched the clouds clear from your eyes,
From your loving eyes.
Back on that rainy night when
We created a moment that can never be erased.
