Darkness made a call for my heart Like a shadow fading over me But you flashed, you shone, your love felt warm In the cold that was my grave With every wayward step I yearned for your face I couldn't find your presence How could I not see; You were always with me Oh beauty ever ancient Late have I loved you You're what I'm searching for Great is your mercy You brought me from the dark When I was blind your love broke through You did what I couldn't do Late have I loved you Late have I loved you Like a soldier in battle you fought for my soul You have won my freedom Now I'm alive, yes you made me alive Made new by love alone By love alone Late have I loved you You're what I'm searching for Great is your mercy You brought me from the dark When I was blind your love broke through You did what I couldn't do Late have I loved you Late have I loved you Now I can't go back Nothing could be better than this No I can't hold back It's what my heart was made to do Now I can't go back Nothing could be better than this No I can't hold back I was made for you Late have I loved you The one I'm searching for Great is your mercy You brought me from the dark When I was blind your love broke through You did what I couldn't do Late have I loved you Late have I loved you
