[Gentle Acoustic Intro] [Verse 1] I know you lie awake at night Scared I've lost my way You wonder where you went wrong You're on your knees to pray You think I need a savior To keep me from the dark But Daddy, look at who I am You built this beating heart [Pre-Chorus] You think without God I'll fall apart That I'll lose what's true But everything that's good in me I got it all from you [Chorus] It was always you Not the scriptures, not the pews Every good thing that I do I learned it all from you You taught me how to love How to show up, how to try It was never God above It was you my whole life [Verse 2] You showed me how to tell the truth You showed me I could stand You held me when I was afraid Safe inside your hands You say you were God's instrument Just doing what he said But Daddy, it was your voice I heard Your words inside my head [Chorus] [Bridge] I know it's hard to understand How I'm standing here so whole Without the faith you gave your life to Without it in my soul But I'm not lost, I'm not broken I'm not wandering in the night I'm the proof of what you gave me I turned out alright [Final Chorus] It was always you Not the prayers, not the pews Every good thing that I do I learned it all from you You taught me how to love How to show up, how to try It was never God above It was you It was always you [Outro] It was you... It was always you...
