lyrics

words & music by Stephen Bautista

silently i sit and stare
at a loss for words i ponder that you're here
in this old tattered heart
when you could be most anywhere

the wondrous places you could go
the destinations way out beyond the great unknown
but here you are
in this tired worn out soul

in every way
i am humbled by your company
but may i say
that i'm struck by this great irony

chorus
you've dwelled upon the mountains
you've hoovered o'er the seas
you've sailed beyond the distant stars
that no one's ever seen
with a million different places that you could always be
I'm so amazed
that you came to live in me

there was nothing left inside
just an empty space with echos of my pride
but you filled me up
when you moved into my life

but the question still remains
why the Lord of all would come to this dark place
when you could bask in the light
of the heavens that you made

and i've been blessed
by the presence of your company
but nonetheless
i'm still struck by this great irony

chorus

bridge
when i consider all those places you could be
i can't get past the question of
why you are mindful of me

chorus
