Steven Curtis Chapman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tomorrow morning if you wake up,
And the sun does not appear
I, I will be here

If in the dark we lose sight of love,
Hold my hand, and have no fear
Cause I, I will be here
I will be here when you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind,
I will listen and
I will be here when the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winning, losing and tryin'
We'll be together 'cause I will be here

Tomorrow morning if you wake up,
And the future is unclear
I I will be here
As sure as seasons are made for change,
Our lifetime's are made for years
So, I I will be here

I will be here and you can cry on my shoulder,
When the mirror tells us we're older,
I will hold you and
I will be here to watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me

I I will be here

And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetime's are made for years
So, I I will be here we'll be together





I will be here

"I Will Be Here"

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I... I will be here
If in the dark we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear
'Cause I... I will be here

I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to crying
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
'Cause I will be here

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I... I will be here
As sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
So I... I will be here

I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here, hmmm

I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me

And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
So I... I will be here
We'll be together
I will be here

Heard this song for many years, but it holds new meaning for me after seeing my mom, dad, and 2 dogs (ALL very dear to me) pass away in a span of just 1.5 years. Really hurts (posting with comment with a tear drenched face), even though knowing others have gone through the same in their own experience, it just really hurts. They'll always be with me, as the song says, as I continue on with life carrying on their memories.

To the surprise of everyone but God, my precious wife went to Heaven November 11 after suffering 36 years of illnesses.

I cry nearly every time l listen to this song. The words are what we lived. She waits in perfect health, peace, and rest.

Thank you for this song. Seasons change. My love does not.

Alita Bercilla

You're wife was truly blessed indeed having you..

We see things so dimly here on Earth, but our God sees the beginning through the end. Prayers for your comfort and for you to continue to know God in your life in a daily, powerful way

Oh my god it’s my birthday November 11

It seems to almost be a cliche, but I am very sorry for your loss. My only hope is that God has some purpose for these things. I cling to the hope that God will reconcile everything to his purpose and we will find peace and purpose to live our lives. Bless your precious heart and may God grant you peace.

The story behind this song is a love song between God and you. This was written as God speaking to one of His children.
