dying of vows

November 25th, 2000

listen to the mp3
we’ve watched these ships set sail from shore
happy, frail, and searching for more
sometimes the waves pull them apart
two pulled from the wreckage of one broken heart

God, we’re scared to venture out to sea
what if we miss what’s meant to be
so many ships never make it home
are we better off here alone?

 but you hear the whispers my soul speaks
 you know i need your strength, i’m weak
 God, Your love – never goes away
 why is it so hard to make ours stay?

such a fragile thing you’ve given us here
hearts that ache and break and want to near
we toss around love like it’s ok to fail
but you loved enough to take the nails

so many promises turn out as lies
we follow our hearts till we realize
we don’t stop searching for something new
even though we found it all in You

i want the love that only you give
unconcerned with the life i live
a love beyond anything i do
a love that never breaks in two
