A single word can change the world 
I found that out the night, 
you asked me so politely,  
stay with me tonight. 
 
I looked into your gentle face 
realized it must be a dream, 
so before my head could say no 
my body joyfully screamed. 
 
as your eyes showed their relief 
you softly touched my cheek, 
you smiled then into my face 
and my heart began to weep. 
 
you wrapped me in your arms then 
carried me to your bed, 
you laid me gently down there 
and not another word was said. 
 
i realized that I loved you after 
when you held me in your arms 
and told me you would do anything 
to stop me being harmed. 
 
ever since that night, 
all the years that have passed us by, 
you have taught me that i can be myself 
I have no need to cry. 
 
because you are my Saviour 
you have shown me so much light, 
ever since the day you said, 
stay with me tonight. |
