Rachel to me:
Meet me in the morning, I’ll be up before the sun.
We can talk together, walk together, hearts that beat as one
Dreaming as a couple asking God what He has planned.
Be the one I journey with as we walk hand in hand.
Busy days abound with many errands to attend
I look to you and hope to know that I will find a friend
Tell me that you love me, and won’t you prove to me the same
It’s all of you I’ve wanted since the day I took your name.
My response:
There are many things that I have done and I have said
I wanted to be honest but I turned and ran instead
When I hid myself from you I lost my closest friend
Now I ask for your forgiveness, I don’t want this dream to end
Everything I’ve done for you was nothing that you need
I was blind to all your hopes and dreams, blinded by my greed
Building my own kingdom, I’m surrounded by these walls
Helpless now I watch as this, my vain illusion, falls
I just don’t know who I’d become, I despise the sin in me
So I yield to Him who still can cause the blind to see
Giving up my life so I might find it made anew
There is no Earthly treasure that could take the place of you
If you would only see me now, just look into my eyes
I’m not the man I used to be, I’m free from my disguise
I’ve hidden from the truth so long that I can hardly stand
But still I pray for restoration, won’t you take my hand?
Rachel to me:
Bitter wounds upon my heart have caused my fear to reign
What choice was I afforded in my solitude and pain?
All trust is shattered, hope is hiding, on love a shadow cast
How am I to trust that this supposed change will last?
It’s nothing new, a week or two, and then you go your way
What offering of proof that I should trust the words you say?
This family’s ship may sink if forced to face another swell
Our hearts can’t take one more lap on this hectic carousel
My Response:
I see the pain that I have caused and hear your earnest plea
Although I’ve tried, my efforts failed, my sin had captured me
It was not me, but Him who saves, that snatched me from despair
The hand of God has rent my heart and holds me in His care
There is still a Promise in which God wants us to live
For you and for our children my very life I freely give
We have a future and a hope, a dream that can come true
Please pray for me for I am weak, each day I pray for you
I stand against our Enemy, rebuke the lies we’ve heard
I pray and fast and cry aloud while clinging to His Word
Nothing more do I desire than to honor God above
And in so doing see His hand restore our divine love.
So, meet me in the morning, I’ll be up before the sun.
We can talk together, walk together, hearts that beat as one
Dreaming as a couple asking God what He has planned.
Be the one I journey with as we walk hand in hand.
