Your Love Was Always There

I often look back on the past
And the choices that I've made,
I realize Your love was there
By the ultimate price You paid.
Through all the heartaches, tears and pain,
You kept Your hand on me,
And I know without Your gentle love,
Today I'd never be.
You picked me up, how many times?
When I was at my end,
I couldn't have been here without Your love,
Because You were my perfect friend.
I even chose a way to go
When my pain was too much to bear,
But You picked me up and carried me,
And gave me Your loving care.
No, God, I don't understand,
How You came to be,
But You'll always be locked inside my heart,
Because I threw away the key.
