You've been my friend for all this time, a shoulder to cry on,
And, looking back, it hurts me, Lord, 'cause I haven't been much to rely on,
Night after night, I was tossing and turning - will I be strong or let you down?
I took on the fight, then you showed me how to hold my ground.
Forever yours I'll stay,
Forever yours; I'll be there,
And when I fall, you'll catch me,
And you tell me every time: "You're forever mine."
Now here I am, some time's gone by since I made my mind up,
And on you, Lord, I still rely, even though there are things I'm not sure of,
Day after day, I'll grow stronger and stronger, watching my weakness be overcome,
I'll move ahead, and know that you're the only one.
Forever yours I'll stay,
Forever yours; I'll be there,
And when I fail, you'll catch me,
And you tell me every time: "You're forever mine."
My voice rises up and cries, "Holy, holy,"
Oh, Lord, I promise to be...
Forever yours I'll stay,
Forever yours; I'll be there,
And when I fail, you'll catch me,
And you tell me every time...
Forever yours I'll stay,
Forever yours; I'll be there,
And when I fail, you'll catch me,
And you tell me every time: "You're forever mine."
