Surprising Me
by Taylor Leonhardt

Album: River House

I once imagined you an old man in the clouds.
Maybe you used to speak,
but you're too weak and tired now.

But you're surprising me,
the way you say my name,
a whisper in my ear that kills my fear,
revives my faith, revives my faith.

I used to worry, you'd want the perfect words.
Into the thinnest air,
I said my prayers, I hoped you heard

But you're surprising me,
the way your quiet feels.
You put your hand against my anxious lips,
and make me still, and make me still.

And you're surprising me,
you know what makes me hurt.
You say you'll never be apart from me,
you never were.

And you're surprising me,
this joy I never knew.
I cannot hold it back,
this river that I fell into.
I cannot hold it back,
this river that is loving you,
is loving you.
