Lyrics
English

[Verse 1]

He didn't send a letter

He didn't send a sign

He stepped out of forever

And walked into time

No throne could hold his longing

No heaven felt like home

While the one he loved was living

Like she lived alone

[Pre-Chorus]

This is not the story of a distant king

This is love that got up and ran

[Chorus]

He came for me

Across the ages, through the night

He came for me

Traded glory for my life

Every mile of that journey

Had my name on the door

He came for me

That's what forever came here for

[Verse 2]

He wore my skin, my hunger

He learned to laugh and grieve

He carried every question

That I carry when I leave

And when they asked him why he'd do it

Why a God would come so low

He only ever answered

With the way he wouldn't let me go

[Chorus]

He came for me

Across the ages, through the night

He came for me

Traded glory for my life

[Bridge]

Some say it's about the rules I broke

Some say it's about my sin

But He says it was always about

Bringing the beloved in… bringing me in

[Final & Outro]

He came for me… He came for me

And he'd do it all again

And when he stood in front of me

He became my mirror

Look at him tonight…

And see your true face
