There You are at the end of me
Right where You told me You would be
An abundance of patience and smile on Your face
Eager for me to understand Your grace
There You are at the end of me
Right where You told me You would be
Listening intently to the depths of my heart
Watching in silence as I fall apart
Your arms are available when I start to sway
Whispering softly that it’ll all be ok
There You are at the end of me
Right where You told me You would be
In the midst of my anger, my hurt and despair
As I scream and I curse and I pull at my hair
There You are at the end of me
Calmly awaiting the rest of me
As I break and I crumble and fall to my knees
Because there’s no way to win, and there’s no way to please
And there’s no way to work, and no way to sit still
As the darkness encroaches and thirsts for the kill
In the moment of weakness where I might give in
And dash all expectations and yield to my sin
There You are at the end of me
Right where You told me You would be
The pillar of balance when I cannot stand
As I face down the darkness, You’re holding my hand
Though I cannot grasp You, nor wrap my head ‘round
All the times that I’ve wandered too far to be found
In search of some sign of who I’m meant to be –
There You’ve always been, at the end of me.
