There is one I hold to,
One whose love is strong;
Strong enough to hold me
When he’s been deeply wronged.

For when I find I’m empty,
He fills me up with love,
And strength enough to carry on—
Much more than just enough.

He keeps me from despairing
For he’s never too busy for me;
His every waking hour,
He’s attentive as can be.

I know no other as righteous:
He’ll never do me wrong.
I wish I was more like him, but
The process will be long.

When no one makes me special,
When I’m selfish and want my way,
He’s patient, quiet, humbling:
He takes my breath away.

He’s not just something to hang on to
Because ‘nothing could heal this pain’:
He is the only solution,
The sun above the rain.

My faith isn’t blind, here—
It’s more than justified;
My Savior keeps me going.
To Him I owe my life.
My hope for your life
Is for your best happiness,
For your peace of mind.
And I treasure our friendship
Which keeps me from troubling you.
Part 5.
Perfect hope dies without your love.
I can do without,
I can get along just fine:
That is my motto.
I can go without you here,
I will be fine without you.
Part 4
There was just no time.
How could I expect so much
When we had little?
The thought, idea, hope, dies
Because we never can be.
Part 3
I don’t hope in you.
There are days when I wish to,
But I know you well;
You wouldn’t want me to,
And I know, I know you’re right.
Part 2
You’re a perfect dream
Only lovely in my heart;
But when I wake up,
Daylight shines on me and says,
“He’s perfect, and you are not.”
Part 1
Sunset
Sunrise
Twilight and
The moonrise

They dictate
Time and sight
Without be
No more light.
