They all say he’s good,
But not good for me.
I see the concern in their eyes,
But don’t they see
The hurt in mine?
Lord, I’ve found something in him
Something that has healed me,
Empowered me to live my life
And to love myself.
He taught me so much.
He showed me that I
Am not impossible to love
And even convinced me to love myself.
Never before have I felt significant.
I was blind to my own potential
Before I listened to him.
Lord, he’s been where I’ve been.
Our lives are so different,
But somehow I just know
At some point he’s felt how I feel.
He truly understands.
God, I feel he needs to talk to me more.
So somber he’s become,
So still.
I see the pain
Fearing he keeps in too much.
Father, I know he wants
Not to burden me,
Not to confess his sorrows.
Will You show him?
I can help,
And will not hinder.
Show him, Lord,
Convince him that for once,
He is truly loved.
I know my heart, Father,
And I shall follow.
I give you my word, Lord,
I will do all that I can
To prove to him that love exists.
