He Was Here

I was happy
To do for myself
Never needed anyone
To hold my hand

I had a mansion
Of achievement
But it's foundation was made
Of shifting sand

And when it started crashing down
For all the world to see
I began to hear of voice call out to me

He was here inside of me
And there he stood with open arms inviting me
He was here in spite of me
And I'll never know the reason of
The gift of his unending love
The only thing I know is he was here

I hit rock bottom
And started digging
All the habits in my life
Assumed control

I couldn't stand it
Any longer
I just had to find some help
To heal my soul

It was then I got down off my feet
And onto bended knee
And called upon the Lord to set me free

Chorus

Society tells us the power is within
There is no need to wish upon a star
But you can tell Oprah and People Magazine
That they don't know just how right they are

'Cause he is here inside of me
And there he stands with open arms inviting me
He is here in spite of me
And I'll never know the reason of
The gift of his unending love
The only thing I know is he is here

Here
He was and is
And always will be here
