# WHEN YOU ARRIVED 1 - Tolu Sarah Johnson

From My Perspective #### Verse 1 Every evening, before the sun began its quiet descent, He'd wander towards the old table beneath the trees. Sometimes He'd carry two cups. One already filled. The other... waiting. At first, I thought it was simply His habit. Until I noticed He'd glance towards the path every few moments, the way someone does when they're expecting a dear friend. --- Pre-Chorus Not anxious. Not impatient. Just... quietly hopeful. --- Chorus *Then...* *you arrived.* Not with perfect words. Not with impressive prayers. Just... with enough curiosity to stay. And somehow, the evening became His favourite part of the day. --- Verse 2 The conversations lasted longer. The laughter came easier. Sometimes He'd tell stories I'd never heard before. Stories that had waited not for an audience... but for a friend. You never seemed in a hurry to leave. And neither did He. --- Pre-Chorus That's when I realised... there is a beautiful difference between being admired and being known. --- Chorus *When you arrived...* nothing about heaven needed to change. But something about His evenings did. He no longer looked down the path alone. He had someone who simply enjoyed being with Him. --- Bridge People often came looking for answers. You stayed because You loved the conversation. They asked for wisdom. You asked about His dreams. They measured the gifts He could give. You discovered the joy of giving Him your attention. And somehow... that became a gift He treasured. --- Final Chorus *When you arrived...* I watched a friendship quietly bloom. Not built on miracles. Not built on need. But on shared evenings. Shared laughter. Shared silence. Sometimes, the greatest gift we give the people we love isn't what we bring. It's simply that we came. --- Outro Long after the conversation had ended... He'd still look towards the path. Smiling. As though already looking forward to tomorrow. Because somewhere along the journey, He hadn't just found someone to teach. He had found a friend. --- Connect with us : Tolu Sarah Johnson YouTube : Unboxed God :(   / @unboxedgod  ) Amazon Author Page: [https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Tolu-Sarah...] Matthew Robert Payne YouTube: (   / @matthewrobertpayne  ) Amazon Author Page: (https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Matthew-Ro...]) For enquiries or ministry contact: 📧 [Tolu @ [email protected] and Mattthe @ [email protected]] "Our desire is not to help people become more religious, but to help them truly know the Father."
