Quiet persistance
That's what did it
You spoke softly, let me know the ways
And you listened with understanding
You brought a pure peace and happiness that goes beyond description
You didn't get angry because you know i'm not perfect
You treated me like i was a child who didn't know better
And i didn't because that's exactly what i was
You knew the troubles that i was going through
And you helped me to deal and cope
You comforted me in my sorrow
And you dried my tears
And if I had questions you answeared them
You made me to see things that otherwise i'd be blind to
You helped me to hear music that i'd never heard so sweet
You taught me the ways to life eternal
And if i didn't accept at first
You only kept speakin quietly because you knew
You knew that eventually i would accept all your ways
You were never pushy or rude
But yet you spoke with a cetain authority
You were ever gentle when you corrected me
You made me to know when i was going against you
And i felt bad when i did wrong
Because i was the one who choose wrong instead of right
But you offered me the chance to change my ways
To make up fo all i'd done against you
And you always forgave me
Quietly and gently you spoke
When i was going to rebell you simply reminded me
And if i did you only corrected me
Again with a gentleness that only pure and true love could ofer
Quest persistance and gentle love
That's what did it
