[Verse 1]
My mother, she holds me
When I'm weak, she consoles me
My troubles weigh on her mind
My tears fall down from her eyes
But You, You loved me better
[Verse 2]
My father, beside me
Holds out his arm to guide me
His wisdom waits in silence
He speaks and I grow quiet
But You loved me better
[Chorus 1]
And there may come a day
When all other loves have gone away
Ooo-oo-oo-oo
When darkness hems me in
You'll be right where You have always been
Closer than the heart within my chest
Because You loved me best
[Verse 3]
The ring around my finger
To have and hold forever
It circles round like years that
We've walked through joys and tears
But You, but You have loved me better
[Chorus 1]
And there may come a day
When all other loves have gone away
Ooo-oo-oo-oo
When darkness hems me in
You'll be right where You have always been
Closer than the heart within my chest
Because You loved me best
(You loved me best)
[Chorus 2]
And there will come a day
When the loves we've lost will all be raised
Ooo-oo-oo-oo
And we will sing a song
Of the One whose loved us all along
The weary world will finally find her rest
Because You, You
You, You, have loved us best
