selah. [part ii]

i want a love that chooses me, because i am.
and i choose you...
because you are.
a romance to sweep me off my feet.
beyond the longest shadows of doubt...
i am the apple of his eye.
i want a love that chooses me when the heart is weary
when the head is stressed
when the sirens call...
when pretty women want you
when their words are so charming
and their curves entice you to wander,
i want a love that's bigger than my lover
that forsakes all others
and says, i am yours.
and you are mine.
on good days
on bad days
a love that protects
a love that builds up
the beauty in me
the wonder in you.
a love that says...
i am yours,
and you are mine.
in the good times.
in the bad times.
when we've reached the ends of our ropes
when there's nothing to give
and nothing to take
i am yours,
and you are mine.
when the world gets dark
and i cannot see your face
you're speaking a different language
and your distance maims my life
still, i am yours,
and you are mine.
when breakthroughs come... and the skies light up
when we're filled with wonder
and all is being made right
those times when we know we're right where we're supposed to be...
that we are on our way
i am yours,
and you are mine.
if lies have covered us up in shame
and we make our bed in hell
drowning in oceans of fear
love will find us out
will redeem and restore
above the roar
singing songs of hope
saying
i am yours,
and you are mine.
and if drowning in seas of grace
breathing underwater
swallowed by peace
and heaven kisses earth
i am yours,
and you are mine.
this love is dangerous.
it's anything but safe.
but it's good.
that kind of love...
that chooses me
that chooses you
just because you are.
just because i am.
i am yours.
and you are mine.
selah.
