My love, I'll never find the words, my love To tell you how I feel, my love Mere words could not explain Precious love, you held my life within your hands Created everything I am, taught me how to live again
You make me feel brand new I sing this song 'cause you Make me feel brand new
My love, whenever I was insecure You built me up and made me sure You gave my pride back to me Precious friend, with you I'll always have a friend You're someone who I can depend To walk a path that sometimes ends
Only you came when I needed a friend Believed in me through thick and thin This song is for you Filled with gratitude and love
CHORUS:
Without you, life has no meaning or rhyme Like notes to a song out of time How can I repay you for having faith in me
God bless you
You make me feel brand new For God blessed me with you
