The Answer

I love you

There's no denying it now

I see you

And I don't even know how

 

I fell into this love

How I fell into your arms

I looked to the One above

And didn't hear any alarms

 

I gave you my heart freely

Like a wave against the shore

Soaking you completely

With the love that I had stored

 

Then a shift began to change things

One that caused my heart to hurt

When you would say you believed in nothing

"God loves you" my mouth would blurt

 

I couldn't make the feel go

No matter how I shoved

I desperately wanted you to know

That you are dearly loved

 

By a God who created the sky you admire

Who knew science would find

Answers to all the questions enquired

But His power they still cannot bind

 

I accept you for who you are

And I want you to feel

The awe when you see something majestic and far

Is a response to a God that is real

 

He created us to look

To find out more around us

He didn't give us the answers in a book

Because He knew that we weren't brainless

 

Science tells us facts and laws

But how do we know our heart

The inside is where all our flaws

Make us feel like we've come apart

 

God tells us in His Word

Exactly what went wrong

Why we are the way we are

And how we can be back to where we belong

 

Yes there are things that cannot be answered

Who am I to know

But I know you saw and I know you heard

Just let the questions grow

 

The ones that are in the back of your head

Asking "could she be right?

Could I believe all that was said

When we talked so many nights?

 

But what about the ones that hate?

The rules that tell me I can't?"

I can say His love is Great

He's not one to easily recant

 

I know the rules may feel like they get in the way

But he really just intends your best

He made things to be a perfect way

But now they've become something far less

 

I hope someday you can see

The light I said I saw in you

You mean so much still to me

Just know that I love you
