This video was made especially to mark Sir Cliff Richard turning 80 on 14th October this year! From his 1981 album Wired For Sound which featured several “Christian” songs, this is one of my favourites. A beautifully simple song with a great melody and lyrics which remind us that God is with us always – past, present and future!
Lyrics:
Better Than I Know Myself
Written by Cooke/Mackenzie, 1981
You were there – at the moment I began
When the child became a man
Saw my future in the making
Saw the path my life was taking
You saw a million things I’ll never understand.
You know me better than I know myself
Better than I know myself
Time after time you’ve shown it to be true
That no one loves me like you.
You are here so let it rain or let it shine
You are with me all the time.
When I’m waking, when I’m sleeping,
In the secret thoughts I’m keeping;
You know everything about this heart of mine
You know me better than I know myself
Better than I know myself
Time after time you’ve shown it to be true
That no one loves me like you.
You’ll be there – when the end of time has come
And I know you’ll take me home.
So I thank you for tomorrow,
All my joys and all my sorrows.
And I thank you for the greatest thing I’ve known.
You know me better than I know myself
Better than I know myself
Time after time you’ve shown it to be true
That no one loves me like you
