IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN YOU

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN YOU

THE HAND WHICH GUIDED ME THROUGH THE DAY
THAT PULLED ME OUT OF HARMS WAY
THAT CHASTISED ME WHEN I WAS OUT OF CONTROL
BELONGED TO THE ONE WHO CAN SAVE MY SOUL

IN THIS WORLD I HAD FORGOTTEN...IGNORED ALL THE SIGNS
DID NOT BELIEVE IT WAS YOUR GLORY AND NOT JUST MINES
THOUGHT I DID IT ALL BY MYSELF...FORGOT ABOUT YOUR GRACE
BUT THEN ONE DAY...I REALIZED IT WAS YOUR LOVE I MUST EMBRACE

SILLY OF ME TO THINK THAT I WAS THE RULER OF MY LIFE
THE DAY CAME WHEN MY LIFE WAS FULL OF NOTHING BUT STRIFE
THAT DAY I REALIZED THAT IT WAS YOUR NAME THAT I MUST CALL
MADE A BELIEVER OUT OF ME...PICKED ME UP WHENEVER I WOULD FALL

IT WAS YOU WHO KEPT ME ALL THESE YEARS...EVEN IN MY DAYS OF SIN
YOU NEVER GAVE UP ON ME...SO TO DO YOUR WILL I WILL HASTEN
FRIENDS ARE FEW AND IN BETWEEN...BUT YOUR FAITHFULNESS
ALWAYS WILL LAST
YOUR LOVE IS WHAT I LONG FOR...NONE OTHER CAN SURPASS

I KNOW DEAR JESUS I AM NOT WHERE YOU WANT ME TO BE
BUT THAT'S OKAY...'CAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE YOUR NOT DONE WITH ME
SO I'LL KEEP MY HAND TO THE GOSPEL PLOW... CONTINUE WORKING IN YOUR FIELD
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN YOU...SO TO YOUR WILL
I WILL ALWAYS YIELD

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
