LOVE

there's a joy to honesty

that most can't relate

an openness that leaves us

feeling all estranged

tangible feelings

we try to ignore

or misappropriate

—

and it's eating at my hopes

it's eating at my dreams

I want to love somebody

as much as You have loved me

though I know in this life

there are no guarantees

—

bone of my bone

flesh of my flesh

I've been wondering

have we ever met

if we did I don't know

that I'd know if we had

—

and I'm sick and I'm tired of wondering

my father says that I won't have to eventually

—

I try to keep my mind on Christ

not the comforts of this life

to love at all costs to myself

and to fight the good fight

but with no one by my side

—

each day gets harder as I go

and You say it's not good for us

to be alone

but if I am to be

it is well with my soul

—

'cause I am not who I used to be

I am a new creation

I am redeemed

it's nothing

that I have to see

to believe

—

but at times it still seems

that it's all still on me

even though You said

it is finished up on that tree

—

it's hard to take

being told to pray

when what i feel

it seems that no words can say

Thank God Your Spirit

intercedes for me

—

for every tear

and every sigh

that tends to keep

my troubled

heart up at night

I rest in Your promises

I know that you're by

my side

—

Hallelujah

You set me free

Hallelujah

I don't need anything

in You I am complete
