Lord Byron
When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted,
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.

The dew of the morning
Sank chill on my brow—
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame:
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.

They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o’er me—
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee too well:—
Long, long shall I rue thee
Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met—
In silence I grieve
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?—
With silence and tears.

There's a truth I learned recently
that has come and set me free.
I am always connected to you
through Jesus Christ
who lives in *me.

I never think anymore
that I know everything.
I just pray my God  speaks
according to His timing.
I just pray I move
when He calls me.
Lord, use my every word
to exalt thee.
Fill me with your presence
Fill me with your goodness.
Fill me with your sweetness,
Lord these things I pray.
Make me more like you
every day.

I know you're not supposed to be a distraction,
I just wonder what God was up to
when He made my soul's natural reaction
loving, trying, and dying for you.
It's not about needing your affection,
it's not about what you do or don't do
It is about your soul's affliction,
and the suffering I watch you go through.
I pray for the Lord's intercession
there's nothing He can't do.
And He tells me I can do nothing
except be there for you.
And so continue to hurt me,
if that's what you must do.
I just know my prayers are working,
even if I can't see what they do.
God is so much bigger than all of this.

I was wrong, I'm sorry, and I love you.
I hear this song, I worry, and I fear too.
That these letters I'm writing won't be well received,
that the good fight I'm fighting dies with me.
I know God has assigned me to brave these stormy seas.
Anything that finds me will have to face Thee.
And there you will guide me, Lord, your will- let it be.
I was wrong, I'm so sorry, and Lord please help them to see
I want the best for them, just like you have given me.
I pray that when they read my words it is only You they will see.
That heaven shines down and warms them through words you've given me.
Lord I have so much of Your love to give, just please do this through me.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!
