Eighteen Years

Eighteen years, just thinking I did not deserve love
And satisfied with words from above:
I am pleased with you when your heart is clean
Then a time of new life, new growth, and new love
More real than a descending dove
I was terrified, I was mesmerized

Then it broke
He proved all my fears were real
Please, please, can I know?
Would you be so cruel
To make me do this alone?
Alone

Then two more. Both times I thought it was the right choice
Both times I tried to follow Your voice
I was confident and I tried so hard
And then came the doubt and questions about Your name
Your goodness. Were you real? Were you sane?
Do you care about anything I want?

Why withhold
Such a common gift?
Love is seeing Your face
Who to see it with?
I will wait here alone
Alone

I will try to love you
But I'll need
Someone by my side to love me
I will try to love you
But I'll need
Someone by my side to love me
(Your promises are new every morning, every morning.)
