It Was You
©2009 angela dittmar

Verse 1
I was broken down and busted
Disappointed and disgusted
But as the lifter of my head
You bring me back where I belong
A bruised reed You will not break
You knew just what it would take
And now I’m back upon my knees
Where I will raise Your name in song

Chorus
And It was You, always faithful, ever strong
Anchoring me despite the seas I travel on
Lost like a needle in a haystack in the middle of a storm
‘Till I found You, and now I’m held by You
It was You holding me,
It was You that brought the calm

Verse 2
Oh, You know my situation so
You know my meditation
I need that merry heart medication
Balm for the times that try my soul
And You know it isn’t easy
And though I know You’ll never leave me
Still this Job time gets me weary
And I’m aching me in my bones

Chorus

Bridge
And when life gets rough and tough
and I feel I’ve had enough
In my weakest hour I lean upon the strength You send
Daily motto, one day at a time
Daily manna, You always provide
Your hand steadies me, till I can soar above the waves again

Final Chorus:
And It was You, always faithful, ever strong
Anchoring me despite the seas I travel on
Lost like a needle, in a haystack, in the middle of a storm
And I’m held by you, always You
It was You, holding me,
It was You that brought the calm

And I’m held by You, always You
It was You, holding me,
It was You that brought the calm
It was You that brought the calm
