Why?

Why

When my heart is torn.

Beaten

Bruised

Hurt and lost

You find me.

You love me.

Why?

I didn't listen.

I chose to turn away.

And you stay by my side.

You know everything

And now you see my tears of shame

Why?

You are still hear, You wipe away my tears

Take away all my fears.

I am so undeserving-

Of all but annihilation from You

Yet all you do is call me

Open arms

You love me

Why?

Perhaps

"Don't judge a book by it's cover."
We have all certainly heard this phrase, and have mostly likely admonished someone with it. But what exactly does it mean? "By it's cover," which in referring to a person would be the outward appearance, but does it go further? We can't judge by the cover, but as soon as we open it up, we are suddenly allowed to judge to our hearts desire? No. Do you give the book time, maybe get past the first pages and then make your judgement? When can you trust it? The first pages? First chapters? When will you know the full story? Well, perhaps once you've read till the end. For only then can you have it's full effect. Am I not right? And then if we are to apply this principle to people, how should we change in our judgement? Judgment is a hard word; to assess and make a lasting opinion of someone. Perhaps there is more than the cover, that than the first chapters, perhaps we will strive and wait, for the full story.

Break through

Humbly offer myself.

Totally submission.

To the point of saying I love you, even if I don’t feel it back.

I know one day I will.

God, please break through.

But if you don’t, my life is yours. Nothing, not even you can change it.

You’re hitched, if that makes any sense. Stuck with me. Like that annoying kid who loved Dad and would not leave him alone. Three days of non-stop following Dad around until it was painfully obvious that Dad was thoroughly fed up.

I’ll be your shadow.

I’ll be your annoying little devotee.

I’ll be your love. I’ll be your child.

I’ll be reduced to that.

And what’s more, I’ll love it.

God, I don’t know if this has happened to you before-but you are royally threatened!

Hah!

But you know what?

I can you your smile.

I can feel it inside me. Like a loving Dad. You gave me my sense of humor. It’s yours too. And I know you love it. I know you love me. Everything about me. You planned it all. The great the small.

I’m so yours.

Help me, on this earth.

God, sometimes I get so frustrated. SO ready to give up, or worse give in.

But you know what? If you can’t beat HIM—join HIM!!

You’re the way. You are the only truth.

So I’m with you.

How much more.

How.

How do I tell you how much I care?

How can I explain what`s going on inside?

How do I put love into words and convince you of it?

Can I even?

And what`s more, how do I convince you that if I can love you this much,

How much more the love for you than love itself?

Won`t you open your eyes and see?

Open your ears and hear?

Open your heart and feel?

It`s there. He`s there.

It has come to a point where I can`t say I know how you feel.

I may have an idea, but it breaks my heart to imagine it, so I can`t.

When I do, my eyes fill with tears and I ask God, why? Why are you doing this to them?

How can you be letting this happen?

And as my heart is breaking and the pain is swelling. I realize...

It`s because I love you.

And how much more the love for you than that of Love Himself?

How much more is His heart breaking? Are His eyes crying?

I can`t imagine. But in my love I`m allowed to feel a bit of it, of Him.

Won`t you open your eyes and see? Open your heart and feel?

Open your soul and know.

Love.

That`s where you are.

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above 

Out where the lightening splits the sea, *

That`s where you are.

God knows I`m wishing it was here.

But I`m waiting, I`m hoping, I`m believing.

That someday you`ll come.

Someday you`ll take me away

God knows I`m wishing it could be now.

But I`ve come to the realization that though want you,

I don`t need you.

Because I already have everything you could ever be,

I already have all the love you could possibly give.

I`ve had it before I was formed.

I`ve had it since the beginning of time.

It`s here.

It`s so much more.

More than words.

More that you.

More than my hopes.

And while I wait, I will be content.

I will not run about turning over every rock, hoping you`ll be there.

One day,

You`ll fall out of the sky.

You`ll be here.

God knows I wish it could be today.

But I`ll look to the sky, and know.

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above

Out where the lightening splits the sea

You`re waiting for me.
