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
