rumour has it... pt.2 // this love thing that you do...

Lord, You know my heart and all my desires.
and the secret things i'll never tell: Lord, You know them well.
though I may be young, I see and understand
that at times -- like sheep -- we go astray... and things get out of hand.

so, i promise to be true to You...
to live my life in purity; as unto You...
waiting for the day when i hear You say,
"Here is the one I have created... just for you."

until then, oh Lord... i will be content
knowing that true love will come someday;
it will only come from You.

'Cause i have seen the suffering that loneliness can cause
when we choose to give our love away without a righteous cause...

rumour has it that she is still ashamed of me. still afraid to be seen with me. i believed for a day, but it's only a rumour. but now i know: this will be my cross... just to love those who never know the thousand ways they hurt.

jesus, now i know how you survived it... and it's so unfathomable: this love thing that you do... i'm getting the hang of it, now, though.

...thanks.
