What Can Never Be Stolen

I was a fool to think you couldn't love me
just because I'd run away.
I'd turned my face from all you are.
Forgotten that you light the stars
And when the night came down and I finally saw
the things I'd done all standing near
I cried and wondered why you'd want to be near
a sinner in saints clothes.
But you picked me up and held me close.
And told me, "Child, I already know.
These things you've done can never cause
me to love you any less.
You are mine. And you are blessed.
And I will always love you."
Well I cried because I knew it was true.
All the things I've done against you
would never be held back against me.
It's a wonder, one I'll treasure close.
Yeah, I'm still running, but you know
that every day I'm just a mile closer
to a home that you are in.
There is no race. Nothing to win.
Cause I've already won all your love.
From the day I was born I was yours.
Call me by name, call me your bride,
take your daughter to your side
and hold me there until I cry.
Then tuck me in, light up my sky,
and stay beside me through the night.
Let me know
each time I wake
that you love me.
And that's something
no one
can take.
