Couplet 1

Yah they told me that You loved me
Then they told me to toe the line
They said I should be scared of doing
Things I know you don’t like
Saying sorry every day
Cuz I was so afraid

Couplet 2

That’d you leave me
So I left you
Chasing dreams I never found
But through these tears here
On my knees I’m
Begging you to come around
Then the God I learned to fear
You showed up and made it clear that

Refrain

You were there in the darkness
You were there in my pain
Yeah You saw me in the valleys
And still loved me anyways
It’s so nice to finally meet You
Why was I so afraid
I have so much left to learn
But thank God You’re not
Who I thought You were

Couplet 3

I always thought
You’d be so angry instead
You’re patient and You’re kind
You are for me
Not against me
For way too long I believed the lie
That there was only so much grace
But now I can finally say that

Refrain

You were there in the darkness
You were there in my pain
Yeah You saw me in the valleys
And still loved me anyways
It’s so nice to finally meet You
Why was I so afraid
I have so much left to learn
But thank God You’re not

Pont

Way too holy to want the broken
Way too proud to love the meek
Cuz now I know that what I fear
Is not having You with me cuz

Refrain

You were there in the darkness
You were there in my pain
You saw me in the valleys
And still loved me anyways
It’s so nice to finally meet You
Why was I so afraid
I have so much left to learn
But thank God You’re not
Who I thought You were
