You had fallen
But I picked you back up
I heard you calling
And I wrapped my arms around you, my love.
I was always with you when things were tough
I listened to your every prayer
Your best was always good enough
I never left your side, no not ever.
I gave you breath
I gave you life
I gave you rest
Through all the pain and strife.
It's all because I love you, you see
All I want is for you to know and love me.
You break my heart
Everytime you turn me away
You ignore my knock
Everytime I knock on your hearts door everyday.
What do I have to do to have your love in return
For you, I've already given my life upon an old rugged cross
Don't you realize how much that hurt
My wish is for no soul to be lost.
For you, my body had been beaten, broken, and bruised
A crown of thorns placed upon my head
Oh how I've loved you
You were on my mind even when I took my last breath.
Nails driven into my hands and feet
I was mocked and laughed at
People cheered on as they saw me bleed
Still, I loved you through all of that.
For you, I've done all of this, my love
And I would do it all again
Because I love you so much
I paid the price for your sins.
I watched as my name was taken out of school
Because the acknowlegment of me
Would be breaking all the rules
It hurts to see that after everything, you still choose to not believe.
I've seen you with your friends
You pretend to not know me
I'm with you even then
Even when you pretend to not believe.
I'm the same One that placed all the stars in the sky
I've numbered every strand of hair on your head
My only wish is to call you a child of Mine
To be your friend.
When will you ever love Me
What else do I have to do
What will it take for you to believe
That I gave it all, My child, because I love you.
