A Song for You
Rachael Lampa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You have spoken in the sunset
You have whispered words of comfort in the wind
You know everything about me
Before my life began
You held me in your hand

You have walked these roads before me
You have known the pain a broken heart can bear
Won't You help me now to trust You
Every single day
I follow in Your way

I live for You, I live for You
When I think of all Your love has done for me
I live for You
Never looking back to what life used to be
I live for You
And everything I ever thought was mine
I'd give it all away to have You in my life

I see you in the crystal waters
And I have felt You in the dark of my despair
You have shown a love unfailing
A river running deep
That's welling up in me

I live for You, I live for You
When I think of all Your love has done for me
I live for You
Never looking back to what life used to be
I live for You
And everything I ever thought was mine
I'd give it all away to have You in my life

I know it's gonna take a sacrifice
I want to see the world through Your eyes
I live for You the rest of my life

I live for You, I live for You
When I think of all Your love has done for me
I live for You
Never looking back to what life used to be
I live for You
And everything I ever thought was mine
I'd give it all away to have You in my life

I live for You, I live for You
When I think of all Your love has done for me
I live for You
Never looking back to what life used to be
I live for You




And everything I ever thought was mine
I'd give it all away to have You in my life
