Hem - He Came To Meet Me lyrics

(Steve Curtis)

He came to meet me

On some July morning

He said he missed me

He came without warning

We walked for half a day

Got lost in my neighborhood

Came back another way

Just like I knew we would

And he came to meet me

He had some stories

He knew a few of mine

I had not heard his voice

For such a long time

My mind would race a bit

Come back to where we stood

I could not keep hold of it

Although I knew I should

And he came to meet me

I'd seen this whole day

Like it was drawing near

Sometimes I'd pray for it

Sometimes I'd shake with fear

Sometimes the only thought

That kept me in the night

Was one that I'd forgot

In summer's blinding light

And he came to meet me

I wrote myself a song

I could not speak what I'd done

He could've been here all along

He could've been anyone

But there is no one who

Could wake my heart like this

Could break my world in two

I felt a suddenness

I felt a suddenness

The day fell completely still

The dream was a lot like this

But I never knew until
