But then you reached across the gulf that separated us,
And that everything about us would be true.
I was terrified to open up and bare my soul.
Please know I never meant to keep a thing from you.
But then you told me once again it didn't matter;
Somehow I found it hard to hold onto that word.
And then suddenly you said the one thing that I needed to know…
The sweetest thing that I had ever heard!
I know that you were born a boy, but what does it matter
When you're the girl with whom I fell in love?
You're so special to me; my heart is in your hands
And I'm so blessed to say that you're my precious dove!
and I feel blessed beyond what words could ever say,
you found value in me, more than I could ever see
and you've touched my heart in each and every way.
Once again I cried myself to sleep last night,
Oh so worried I would have no words to say;
Filled with guilt and with shame and with overwhelming fear
That you just might decide to walk away.
(Bridge)
And with gentle hands you wiped away my tears.
I had lost all faith in me;
But now suddenly I see…
That this love of yours just washed away my fears!
You knew that I was born a boy, and it didn't matter;
You told the world that I'm your precious dove.
That I'm so special to you; my heart is in your hands;
And I'm so blessed to know that I'm the girl you love.
and I feel blessed beyond what words could ever say,
you found value in me, more than I could ever see
and you've touched my heart in each and every way.
(It doesn’t matter to me!)
You showed the world that I'm your precious dove.
(You’re a gift from above!)
I'm so special to you; my heart is in your hands;
(Our hearts are in His hands!)
And I'm so blessed to know that I'm the girl you love!
