Verse 2:

	My love
	Whenever I was insecure
	You built me up and made me sure
	You gave my pride back to me

	Precious friend
	With you I'll always have a friend
	You're someone who I can depend
	To walk a path that sometimes bends

	Without you
	Life has no meaning or rhyme
	Like notes to a song out of time
	How can I repay
	You for having faith in me

	For God blessed me with you

	Am7                    Bm7
	You make me feel brand new
	  Bm7/E Bm  Am7  D7 Cmaj7
	I sing this song for you
