I didn’t love You from the very start
When what I loved the most was my own way,
But now I live to give You all my heart.
You made a promise—that we would never part,
That You would love me always, come what may,
But I didn’t love You from the very start.
At first alone my course I chose to chart,
Ignoring the love You showed me day by day,
But now I live to give You all my heart.
Then as my dreams began to fall apart,
I found my way cost far too much to pay.
I didn’t love You from the very start.
I began to see the beauty of Your art
Of loving me while I pushed You far away.
And now I live to give You all my heart.
So let me never from this truth depart,
That Your love has empowered me to say
That though I didn’t love You from the start,
Now I live to give You all my heart.
