They lie so much it hurts
A smile in my face
But a knife to my back
Words spoken to attack
Hands gripped to crack
Hugs held fast
Promises not meant to last
But still, I remain steadfast
Because all I need is You
Lover of my soul
Keeping me in Your hold
Gentle as a dove
Whispering your love
Refreshing me daily [a]
Washing away my aches and pains
The clenching in my heart
and tearing in my soul
Yet with an outstretched hand
You wipe away my tears [b]
Clutch me close to your heart
To never let go
I am yours forever always
a. Psalm 23:3 He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake. (NIV)
b. Revelation 21:4 "...'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." (NIV)
