I never knew bad until the good had left
I never knew what living was until everyone around me started giving in
I never knew joy had a sound until the music went away
I never needed a poem until I felt the sadness of no words

I never felt longing until I fasted from your side
I never knew my friends until I dropped down to my knees
I never called your name until I found myself alone
I never felt your warm hands until I wished death upon myself

I’ve never been so at peace, as when I gave it all to you
I never felt so close to you until I needed to be held
In the quiet of the solitude stretched out on the cross
I felt your never ending love for me, just me

You are a healer, a friend, my everlasting light
the peaceful island in a stormy sea
hallelujah means thank you, praise you, I love you…
I never knew that faith is being there for me,
stronger than I can ever hope to be

I never knew your love until I needed to be held
