How are You?

I was sitting by the edge of my broken dreams

Tracing the cracks where the light used to be

My heart was a weight I couldn’t carry alone

Lost in a silence I’d made my own

Then I felt a shadow, then I felt the peace

A stranger sat down, bringing sudden release

He looked at my tears like he knew every one

And spoke like the warmth of a rising sun.

He didn’t ask why, he didn’t demand

He just reached out a steady, weathered hand

He said, "I’ve seen the way that you’ve been cast down

I’ve come to lift your head and change your crown

I want to walk beside you, to stay by your side

With a love so deep there’s nowhere to hide

I’ll give you a joy that the world can’t erase

And wrap all your sorrow in infinite grace."

And I’m wondering, who are you?

How do you see the things I’m going through?

You offer a love that I can’t even measure

Treating my soul like a long-lost treasure

Who are you, with eyes like the sea?

Telling me you want to be with me.

Who are you?

I told him my past was a tangled mess

Filled with the weight of my own loneliness

He smiled and he whispered, "I know it all well

I’ve come to break every heart-heavy spell

My love isn’t earned, and it has no end

I’m more than a stranger, I’m more than a friend"

The air started changing, the heavy clouds broke

As I trembled to hear every word that he spoke.

And I’m wondering, who are you?

How do you see the things I’m going through?

You offer a love that I can’t even measure

Treating my soul like a long-lost treasure

Who are you, with eyes like the sea?

Telling me you want to be with me.

Who are you?

The world felt so small as I looked in his face

In the stillness of that holy place

I finally found the breath to speak

With a voice that was shaking and weary and weak.

(Chorus)

I asked him, "Who are you?

How do you see the things I’m going through?

You offer a love that I can’t even measure

Treating my soul like a long-lost treasure

Who are you, with eyes like the sea?

Telling me you want to be with me."

Who are you?

Uuuuuh uuuuuuh uuuuuuuh uuuuuuuh

Aaaaaah aaaaah aaaaaaah aaaaaah

Ooooooh ooooooh ooooooh oooooooh

(Final Chorus)

(I asked him, "Who are you?)

(How do you see the things I’m going through?)

You offer a love that I can’t even measure

Treating my soul like a long-lost treasure

(Who are you, with eyes like the sea?)

Telling me you want to be with me."

Who are you?

(I asked him, "Who are you?)

(How do you see the things I’m going through?)

You offer a love that I can’t even measure

Treating my soul like a long-lost treasure

(Who are you, with eyes like the sea?)

He stood to his feet as the light started to fade

But the glow in his presence was a promise he made

He reached for my hand, and the search was over

The King of my heart, my soul’s only lover

I asked one more time, "Tell me, what is your name?"

He whispered, "The one who has carried your shame...

My name is Jesus of Nazareth."
