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
