Love Song

Yesterday I was with the one
That I believed was the one
On the dark, winding road
Two broken pieces hoping that
Together they would make one whole.

Broken parts breed hurt and pain
Shedding tears as summer came
Shattered dreams behind the cries
Turned autumn and I left
In the distance he screamed “Why?”

Today I am so far away
From when I bid the one good day
I found the one was not to be
And leaving the search to Jesus Christ
Because he knows what’s best for me.

I see the person of my dreams
I’m thinking, “Could it be, really the one?”
Not like any man I’ve known
Different from those in the past
Warmer than those who came before.

But God performs His way, His time
Not on your clock or even mine
Instead of a fantastic reverie
I’m taking joy in what life is
What is as opposed to what could be.

Today I don’t feel the isolation
I’m free from the pain of degradation
One huge step, 300 miles from home
A year ago I was in the wilderness
Today I am not alone.
