More Than Before Re-Mine

I wore my collar like a chain
Spoke of hope through holy pain
Every blessing left my lips
Never reached my fingertips

Every soul would lean on me
Every prayer begged to be free
I held heaven in my hands
While I drowned beneath the man

Then you looked into my eyes
Like I didn't need disguise

You saw the man beneath the white
Stayed beside me through the night
You never asked my faith to prove
The way I learned to live through you

Every prayer now ends with you
Every hymn still leads me to
The only place
I've never been before

I need you more
More than before

Mane mecum
Cor exhaustum

Da mihi vocem
Da mihi pacem

Lux in nocte
Spes in morte

Mane mecum
Semper

All my life I carried pain
Called it faith again and again
You were never sent above
You just taught this heart to love

Every prayer now ends with you
Every hymn still leads me to
The only place
I've never been before

I need you more
More than before

I need you more
More than before
