YOU WERE THERE

You were there
in everything I knew
From the moment I began.
Always there in every way I go.

Saved me falling, held my hand.
You are shelter from the storm.
The shadows fade away,
all cares pass away.

As hour by hour, day by day
Your love lightens up the sky
As it shines across the night.
Ave, regina caelorum decora
Virgo gloriosa, ave!

And when the end of day has come,
Stay with me through the dark
and bring me home.

You are there whichever way I go.
Keep me safely night and day.
Always there, whenever I'm alone,

Hear me calling, show the way.
You are shelter from the storm,
The shadows fade away,
all cares pass away.

As hour by hour, day by day;
Your love lightens up the sky
As it shines across the night.
Ave, regina caelorum decora
Virgo gloriosa, ave!

And when the end of day is come,
Stay with me through the dark
and bring me home.
Stay with me through the dark
and bring me home.
