[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
