Lyrics:

I wasn’t looking for an answer,
Just trying to make it through the day.
Taking life in quiet pieces,
Hoping the weight would fade away.
But then you sat beside me softly,
No big moment, nothing grand 
Just a warmth I didn’t notice
’Til it settled in my hands.

And it hit me without warning,
Love grows slow, but it grows true.
Not in loud or sudden changes,
Just by standing close to you.

You lift me up - higher than I’ve ever been,
Hold me close - feel the world grow quiet again.
In the silence, you bring light where I couldn’t see…
Yeah, you gave me (you gave me)
A higher purpose,
A higher purpose  - to be.

I’m still learning how to slow down,
Still learning how to stay.
You remind me life feels fuller
When I’m not rushing it away.
And your voice becomes my steady
When my thoughts get out of place 
Every doubt grows a little quieter
When I see your face.

Funny how the smallest moments
Turn into the ones we keep.
You don’t need to save a lifetime
Just to help someone find peace.

You lift me up - higher than I’ve ever been,
Hold me close - feel the world grow quiet again.
In the silence, you bring light where I couldn’t see…
Yeah, you gave me (you gave me)
A higher purpose,
A higher purpose  -  to be.

If your heart feels heavy someday,
And you’re losing sight of you 
Play this song and hear me saying:
I’m grateful I found you.

You lift me up - higher than I’ve ever been,
Hold me close - feel the world grow quiet again.
And if these words can bless you back tonight 
Then I’m thankful,
More than I can speak.
