I turn back the hands of time

To see what I've left behind

All the memories within my heart

Deep within my mind

I see all the hardships I've endured

And I'm rest assured

That You'll be there beside me

Like You've always been time and again



And with all that's said and done

You've always been the one

To hold me on those rainy days

When I couldn't see the sun

And when all the clouds disappear

And my skies are clear

I feel Your love shining down on me

Without Your love where would I be



You were the One

Who wiped the tears from my eyes

It was Your love that gave me light

Through my darkest times

You were the One

What You've given me I can never repay

All I can give to You is my loving embrace

'Cause I live to see the smile upon Your face

Day by day



I promise to go on

Until my race is won

And the knowledge You have given me

I give to those I love

And I've learned that if I do succeed

Then I shally receive

The promise of a brighter day

You give me all, You give me faith



You were the One

Who wiped the tears from my eyes

It was Your love that gave me light

Through my darkest times

You were the One

What You've done for me I can never repay

So I live my life according to Your name

(All the things You've done for me, Lord)

'Cause I live to see the smile upon Your face

Day by day



Your love it always pulled me through oh yeah

And when I felt the hope was gone it was only You

Until my dying day in my heart You'll always be

And I'm so thankful for the love You've given me

Now I see



You were the One

Who wiped the tears from my eyes

It was Your love that gave me light

Through my darkest times

You were the One

What You've done for me I can never repay

I won't fail You, this I promise here today

'Cause I'd die to see the tears come down Your face

So I'll live in You, I will live in Your name

The rest of my days



Don't You cry no more
