"..and i'm thankful."
Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to You
But I don't know how
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now
And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be
the one
that saves me
words exchanged,
prayers and its responses
maybe i'll find an answer
maybe i'll have to be okay
if the answer is the same
as it always has been
to have faith
in things
i do not
know
...rather than being overwhelmed by them
to have faith
that Someone is reaching out
and i have reason
to reach back
i am not alone
i don't believe that any body
feels the way God does
about me
who i am
who i hope to be
who i've been
who i'm meant to be
me
i don't believe that anybody
hurts that way He does
for me
not even me
that kind of pain
that could hurt the God of the universe Himself
would overwhelm my little human heart
that is used to only seeing myself in this broken light anyway
instead He feels my pain
while mourning the perfection
the perfect, healing, encompassing love
He meant for me to--created me
to experience in full
i don't believe that anybody
feels the way He does
...
about the people
who i'm hurting for
even now
i don't believe that anybody
hurts the way He does
...nor fights for, reaches out, and loves
as relentlessly
as He does
for them now
i believe that we are all His precious children
He will fight for us, no matter what
even the battles, i have no place to fight
the hurts, i can only be weighed down by
the casualties, i can only mourn over
as my limited, human, broken self
i believe
in hope
for the people i cannot save
...but He can.
i don't believe
that anybody
can Love
the way He does
you and me
--everybody.
He will be the one who saves.
i believe that He will heal what i cannot
reach what is out of reach for me
protect, what is out of my arm's reach
love--better
so much
better
than anybody else
in the world
can even fathom possible,
even dare to
i believe that we,
as humans
are sorry
in our tattered messes
our broken lives
our self and mutually inflicted pain
our wandering,
our lost,
our helplessness
we are
such a
sorry
people
but at the same
we have every reason
to be thankful
"i'm sorry...and i'm thankful."
i have nothing to show for myself
and yet You give me so much
so. much.
to be overwhelmingly
thankful for.
words can't express
how beautiful
Your love is
where i can only see
a blurry glimpse
of a picture, now
someday,
i look forward
to seeing it clearly
to open my eyes
and experience it in full
with You
Lord,
i'm sorry.
i'm sorry...
and i'm thankful.
