You gave me time When no one gave me time of day You looked deep inside While the rest of the world looked away You smiled at me When there were just frowns everywhere You gave me love When nobody gave me a prayer That's why I call you Saviour That's why I call you friend You touched my heart You touched my soul And helped me start all over again That's why I love you Jesus That's why I'll always care You gave me love When nobody gave me a prayer You gave me laughter After I cried all my tears You heard my dreams While the rest of the world closed it's ears I looked in your eyes And I found the tenderness there You gave me love When nobody gave me a prayer That's why I call you Saviour That's why I call you friend You touched my heart You touched my soul And helped me start all over again That's why I love you Jesus That's why I'll always care You gave me love When nobody gave me a prayer Written by: Archie P.
