I thought the night would never break
Each breath I took began to ache
But still, you waited near the door
And showed me I was something more
You didn’t push, you didn’t preach
You stayed where I could barely reach
And when I found the strength to try
Your love was shining in the sky
You were the light that waited long
The silent faith that kept me strong
And now I know I wasn’t lost
Your hope remained, no matter cost
You stood in quiet grace
A lighthouse in one place
You didn’t run or plead
You gave me what I’d need
I thought the night would never break
Each breath I took began to ache
But still, you waited near the door
And showed me I was something more
Now I will be that steady flame
For someone drowning deep in shame
To stand and shine without a word
Till hurting hearts begin to stir
You were the light that waited long
The silent faith that kept me strong
And now I know I wasn’t lost
Your hope remained, no matter cost
Your waiting gave me flight
Now I will be that light
Through others I will stay
And guide them on their way
