love. it's a song of love we sing.
i plunge into love,
not really knowing what love is.
i think it's the exuberant thrill i get
when i see him in the far off distance
i think it's the selfish verdigris that rises up in me
like a bubbling cauldron
when he is drifting towards somewhere i cannot go
i think it's the puerile euphoria i get
when he smiles a genuine smile
for he is happy.
when i struggle with love
God sings me a love song
to let me know what love is.
He is beautiful in my sight, as i am in his
He charges through death and despair for my sake
He cradles my head and comforts me when i am tired
He holds me up when i am about to fall
the world is beautiful because that's what He is
i'm not delirious
because i can't be more wide awake than now
i take in the sights and sounds
and i sing
i glide across the sky on a kite
i ride on a spaceship of love
it saturates me
with the fullness of life
my Lord will come for me
even if i run away
He will wait for me to come home
even if i shame Him and deny the bonds of matrimony
He will reinstate me, if only i swallow my pride to admit
that despite my petty and willful belligerence,
i really do love Him
the part of Him that would lay aside everything to pay my debts
and apologize to the world on my behalf
the part of Him that loves me enough to tell me when i'm destroying myself
the part of Him that builds a house for me when i'm tired
the part of Him that moves mountains
and would bring the moon to my doorstep.
i don't question
am i worthy?
because He has already justified me
and made me worthy in His sight
i don't know whether i will find someone
who will love me in this same way
and He assures me
by love and faith
all things are possible.
