Jars Of Clay — Five Candles (You Were There) lyrics

Lyrics

A promise or a dare
I would jump if I knew you’d catch me Staring over the edge
I can’t tell if you’ll be here for me I close my eyes and make a wish
Turn out the lights and take a breath
Pray that when the wick is burned
You would say that it’s all about love
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
You were never here
I remember you said
Love was more than your good intentions
Empty boxes on the floor
Things I never asked you for
I pray that when the wick is burned
You would say that it’s all about love
I can’t see the promise of Excuses you fall upon
I pray to God not holding on To things you’ve left undone
You were there when I You were there when I You were there when I needed you
