Song Lyrics 

BECAUSE OF YOU                        ©1994,John A.Poe,Jr. • 1 You could have given up on me when I had gone astray; You could have turned your back in shame when I had lost my way; You must have been so hurt to see the bad mistakes I made; You had to think I'd never be the son for which you prayed. • chorus In you...I saw...the light from up above; From you...I felt...the warmth of Jesus' love; Through you...I knew...the strength of God's great hand; Because of you, I found the way to Gloryland. • 2 You showed me how to sacrifice, yet never do without; You taught me just to follow Him, in spite of fear or doubt; You proved the truth of Jesus' words -- It's better far to give, To go wherever He may lead, and joyfully to live. • chorus In you...I saw...the light from up above; From you...I felt...the warmth of Jesus' love; Through you...I knew...the strength of God's great hand; Because of you, I know the way to Gloryland. • 3 Because of you, I learned to keep a song deep in my heart; Because of you, within God's plan I finally found my part; You touched so many precious lives with His amazing grace; In you I've seen the love of God, His tender smiling face. • chorus In you...I saw...the light from up above; From you...I felt...the warmth of Jesus' love; Through you...I knew...the strength of God's great hand; Because of you, I'm on my way to Gloryland. • (tag) Because of you, I'll be there too, in Gloryland... Thank you, Mom and Dad... I'll be with you, in Gloryland...
