We'll sit and remember my story together, and then he'll stand and put his arms around me and say, 'well done,' and that he liked my story. And my soul won't be thirsty anymore.

There is no one else to turn to For I have made you my Everything.

I thought He was leading me to you But, surprise surprise, You were leading me to Him."

It's just the way it is."
