I knew You without Wordsđ
[Intro â whispered, distant] In the cold of the night⊠when I wasnât searching⊠You found me. [Verse 1] I woke beneath a frozen sky, My breath was hanging in the room. The walls were dressed in silver frost, The night was silent as a tomb. I washed the sleep out of my eyes, Then something moved inside the glassâ A face appearing through the white, Like someone waiting in my past. [Pre-Chorus] Thorns were resting on His head, Pure light burned around His form. I should have turned and run away, But in His presence, I felt warm. [Chorus] I knew You without words, Though I couldnât understand. Every face of every soul Was changing where You stand. A woman, child, and every race, All creation in Your eyes. I knew You without words In that holy, blinding light. [Verse 2] You spoke a language I had never heard, Yet something in me listened still. No fear was beating in my chest, Only silence, deep and real. I turned to see who stood behind me, But the empty room remained. Then You looked toward where I rested And gently nodded once again. [Pre-Chorus] My feet grew heavy as the stone, A drop of blood fell from my face. The smoke was rising through the room, But I still felt surrounded by grace. [Chorus] I knew You without words, Though I couldnât understand. Every face of every soul Was changing where You stand. The old, the young, the lost, the found, All reflected in Your eyes. I knew You without words In that holy, blinding light. [Bridge â music falls nearly silent] There were letters on the wall, Written where the shadows bled. A message I could not decipher, A truth my heart had not learned yet. I closed my eyes inside the dream⊠Then morning called me back again. The window opened to the daylight, But I could feel where You had been. [Soft Spoken] I wasnât looking for religion. I wasnât calling out Your name. But the fragrance of an ivory candle Still lingered when the morning came. [Final Chorus â powerful cinematic rise] I knew You without words, Before faith had found my heart. You wore the face of all humanityâ No soul was set apart. Through the cold, the blood, the smoke, Something peaceful stayed alive. I knew You without words⊠And I carried You outside. [Outro â piano and distant choir] Was it only just a dream, Or a door beyond my sight? I may never know the answer⊠But I still remember the light. [Whisper] You found me⊠when I wasnât searching.
