[Verse 1]
I climbed the ridge at dawn
Boots wet with mountain grass
Your name was on the wind
And in the pinewood pass
The sky held up its blue
Like a hand above my head
I saw my small hard days
And left them there instead
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was empty, I was worn
A mile from mercy, still I kept on
Then your light broke through the stone
And I heard my heart come home
[Chorus]
You fill up my soul
You fill up my soul
Like rain on stone
Like fire in the cold
You fill up my soul
You fill up my soul
I was half a man
Now I know I am whole
[Verse 2]
Down where the sea rolls in
It beat the rocks to foam
I watched the gulls cut low
Like they were headed home
Salt on my open hands
Salt in the evening air
The waves kept saying back
You have been met right there
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was drifting, I was torn
A little thread pulled by the storm
Then your voice rose through the waves
And my fear began to fade
[Chorus]
You fill up my soul
You fill up my soul
Like rain on stone
Like fire in the cold
You fill up my soul
You fill up my soul
I was half a man
Now I know I am whole
[Verse 3]
I found you in the night
In the crack between the stars
The cabin window sighed
And the dark became less hard
One candle on the sill
One prayer I did not say
But when I turned my face
You were already on the way
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was waiting, skin and bone
A shadow looking for a home
Then your mercy called me near
And the dark was cleared
[Chorus]
You fill up my soul
You fill up my soul
Like rain on stone
Like fire in the cold
You fill up my soul
You fill up my soul
I was half a man
Now I know I am whole
[Verse 4]
I carried broken years
Like stones inside my coat
Every hard word I survived
Still left me far from hope
But you were patient there
At every stubborn door
I heard the latch give way
And I wanted less and more
[Pre-Chorus]
So I rose into the light
One step, one breath, one line
And the place I thought was lost
You were there the whole time
[Chorus]
You fill up my soul
You fill up my soul
Like rain on stone
Like fire in the cold
You fill up my soul
You fill up my soul
I was half a man
Now I know I am whole
[Verse 5]
Now when the morning comes
And the ridge turns gold again
I know the sea will call
And I will answer then
Mountains keep their watch
And the water keeps its song
But every road I take
Leads me where I belong
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was empty, I was worn
A mile from mercy, still I kept on
Then your light broke through the stone
And I heard my heart come home
[Chorus]
You fill up my soul
You fill up my soul
Like rain on stone
Like fire in the cold
You fill up my soul
You fill up my soul
I was half a man
Now I know I am whole
[Outro]
You fill up my soul
You fill up my soul
You fill up my soul
You fill up my soul
