Story Behind The Song

Took a moment to stop and assess my life with Christ, and find that through the trials and troubles there is a residue of something lovely and irreplaceable that has made it all much more than worth it.

Song Description

Christ communicates with me continually in all the avenues of life. It is a friendship of such wonder that one can't help but long for a way to communicate it to others, so that they, too, could become His friends.

Lyrics

He talks to me in gentle words,

When side by side, we walk

Along the winding road of time

I've come to know Him better, now;

I love to hear His voice.


But when the sky grows dark and grim,

Through my tears, ! lose sight of Him;

The touch of His assuring hand

Comes just in time to tell me, now:

He had not walked away.


If only I could say to Him

A thousand thank-yous

For His friendly Father's love

It might tell how I feel.


And if I should lose all I have,

All I own, and all I love;

My greatest treasure still would be

The One who came to find me, now;

He calls me by my name.



And when the doors of time have closed

He'll welcome me to golden shores

Where His forever I will be

Never more to wander, now;

A place that I'll call home.


If only I could say to you,

"Knowing Him is far more

Than all your dreams come true!

That's what I'd say to you.
