To Know Your Love

To God be the Glory, even in frustration.

This song seems to play out more frustration and fear and on-the-edge-ness than I am feeling right now (it strike a harsher cord than my current heart), but it speaks a truth of how i live. i become so frustrated with wanting to grow close to God, to experience intimacy, yet can't seem to figure out how to get there (at least, as fast as I want to), that it seems almost worthwhile to fall from God, just so i can run back and experience that first joy and freedom again. It doesn't work that way, but the irrational desire remains a testament to my heart's brokenness.

lyrics:
Sometimes, I think it'd be easier
to start it all over again
(there'd be) less to, keep mulling- over
less trying and failing to get in

if only I knew I had nothing
to offer no good thing to present
cause sometimes I want to run away
so I could fall back in your arms again

show me, how far I wait from you
show me how needy I am
break me for my own depra-vity
steal my last striving again
run out to me, as I come-from the-harvest
just like the first day I came home
show me your heart for my brokenness
let your romance be known known known let your romance be known known known

tell me how much you love me
please tell me how much you love

cause I'm this close to cutting a corner
and this close to ducking on out
not a threat because you don't need me
I plead because I fear life without
your love for me

which can never leave

tell me how much you love me
tell me how much you love
tell me how much you love me
tell me how much you love love love
