you were there when i was down
there when my hope was born
you never asked a thing in return
you were there
you were there before the calm
there in the book of psalms
from within your glory shone
you were there
and what kind of man would i be if i let this chance go by?
to say what you mean to me well really how could i?
you were there just like the sun
there when i was young
you're the first song i ever sung
you were there
