lyrics

vs 1:
before the moment i was born, you knew me
all my days were open to your eyes
every single breath i take, you give me
you are my life

vs 2:
your shepherd voice has called me from the lowlands
from the comfort of all i have known
to steal away off to a mountain kingdom
'twill be my home

pre:
and if you're everything to me
if you are everything to me

ch:
i don't want to offer anything that costs me nothing
may everything i bring be a sacrifice of sorts
though could ever anything that i might give
be truly seen as loss when given to you, Lord?

vs 3:
you've set the path i'm meant to walk before me
and suffering and sorrow as my guides
with just a single word of call, you've promised
you're at my side

vs 4:
and though the way is steep and i am fearful
the seed of love you've planted spurs me on
to heights where crippled feet and twisted visage
will all be gone
