I Cried

[Lily]

I've walked alongside so many of you,
doing some of the same things you do
Yet my aim was totally beyond your sight;
I was striving to be holy, working at living right.

I had not yet mastered many earthly things,
but heaven's eternity was my one fervent dream.
So in private I wept, I prayed, and I cried
longing to be forever at the Master's side.

So the things you never saw done in secret by me
were seeds being planted towards this manifested destiny
Now this place of greatness I have been granted to share
came about as I embraced God's promises, love, and care.

You see faithfulness 'behind the scenes' means an awful lot
So now my light can shine from this higher hilltop.
And to everyone of you, I once stood beside
you'll hear my testimony now
and know the tears I've cried
just for you
and many for my own sins too
I prayed just for you ~ and many days and nights I cried.

When you didn't know what you were doing to me
I prayed for you ' deep down on the inside.
