Nobody But You

Nobody can see when my heart cries out
or when a battle rages within me.

Nobody can name every battle fought 
or every foe defeated.

Nobody can count the tears I've shed
or the heartaches I've known.

Nobody can see every mistake I've ever made
or every chance I've thrown away.

Nobody knows how much I love them
or how often I think of them.

Nobody can love me with an everlasting love
or carry my every load.

Nobody can count ,y every sin
or give to them a name.

Nobody knows my every thought
or my every shame.

Nobody sees the deceit in my heart
or the nothingness that was within.

Nobody feels the warmth of Your love
or the blanket of mercy like I do.

Nobody can give me hope
or shed light amongst my dark soul.

Nobody can draw me nearer
or carry me when I am wearied.

Nobody but You!
