Lyrics
[Verse 1] I laid my fears, hopes, dreams, and my sins, at your feet, In the shadow of your presence, where grace and truth meet. You surprised me with your person, you were more than a promise, In those eyes, I found a love that felt honest. [Pre-Chorus] I looked into your eyes, and my heart recognized, Who you truly are, beneath the world's disguise. [Chorus] I flattened my ego to follow you, It cost me my career, it cost me my truth. The cost of everything I thought defined my soul, Yet in losing myself, you made me whole. [Verse 2] You gave me something better, beyond every fear, In those moments of perfect clarity, everything became clear. I cherish my wife, the love of my life, And my children, the gems that shine so bright. [Bridge] I felt your wounds, bathed your feet with my tears, Some may question my worth, question my years. But I know you are the ultimate man, The King of Kings, with a masterful plan. [Chorus] I flattened my ego to follow you, It cost me my pride, yet gave me what’s true. The price of this journey, though painful and steep, Led me to treasures my heart longs to keep. [Outro] One day, every knee shall bend, And every tongue shall confess until the end, That there is no other name, under heaven's dome, Guiding us gently, ever calling us home.
