I Chose You

Before I could walk or say my ABCs 
My little heart was protected and you had the keys 

It's kind of funny but I didn't know at the time 
Looking back I see how you filled my spirit and brought me peace of mind 

When Miss Insomnia would to keep me up and busy all night 
Now, I see that it was your loving hands that held me so tight

When I was lost in the concrete jungle just trying to find my way 
There you were all the time, softly saying, "I'm here; it's okay."

At last! After all these years, I'm so grateful for your mercy and grace 
Sweet Serendipity with timing so perfect as we commune in this sacred place 

From the very beginning, you chose me 
Unknowingly, I chose you too; now my soul dwells with thee
