My Letter to You

I wrote down my heart on this page that you hold
I didn't lie; it was truth and it was gold
Now you hold my heart in your hands
I'm so weak, but you see me
This is nothing like chance
I was chained, but you freed me

Now my heart is soaring up high in the blue that you showed me
I'm indebted to you; I was lost, but you found me
My heart was broken inside
But this never ending flow of words
Couldn't keep it in if I tried
I'm Yours for better or worse

So I'm writing down my letter to You. It looks different now
You can see the teardrops on the page but they're not what they were
Stains from a chained heart
Have melted into joy
This is my proof of your love
You saved me when I had no voice

So thank you for being my God!
Thank you! You were here when they were not
In Your presence is fullness of joy
I'm understanding that now
What used to keep me from being with You
I'm no longer a slave to

When You Say You Love Me, Do You Mean It?

When you say you love me, do you mean it? Those three words have more power than any others.When I say I love you, you'll know that I do because I never waste those words.

When will we be out of the fog where love is so fragile? When will we be able to see love for what it really is? A never-ending bond stronger than any other that binds us to one another, not with feelings but with actions. When will we never have to worry again that the love someone has for us will cease or fade away some day? When will we never have to walk on eggshells around people, doing only things to please them or being only who they want us to be in order that they keep loving us?

True love is not fragile. True love will never cease or fade away. True love will love you for who you are and everything that you will be.

The bond of true love is unbreakable. When will we reach it?
