You Love Me Best

My mother, she holds me
When I'm weak, she consoles me
My troubles weigh on her mind
My tears fall down from her eyes
But You, You loved me better

My father, beside me
Holds out his arm to guide me
His wisdom waits in silence
He speaks and I grow quiet
But You loved me better

And there may come a day
When all other loves have gone away
Ooo-oo-oo-oo
When darkness hems me in
You'll be right where You have always been
Closer than the heart within my chest
Because You loved me best

The ring around my finger
To have and hold forever
It circles round like years that
We've walked through joys and tears
But You, but You have loved me better

And there may come a day
When all other loves have gone away
Ooo-oo-oo-oo
When darkness hems me in
You'll be right where You have always been
Closer than the heart within my chest
Because You loved me best
(You loved me best)

And there will come a day
When the loves we've lost will all be raised
Ooo-oo-oo-oo
And we will sing a song
Of the One whose loved us all along
The weary world will finally find her rest
Because You, You
You, You, have loved us best
