It's Beautiful...

I am not a huge fan of boy bands, but I heard a particular song a while back that struck me. The lyrics seemed to strike a chord in me I could not quite grasp. So I would sit and listen to it every so often. As I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes, I felt something real, almost tangible, inside. But the "almost" is what grabbed me. That "almost" ability to reach out and hold on to what was not quite physical tore me apart. Looking back, what I felt then cannot compare to what I experience now. For some reason in the words of this song I am inspired and calmed, lost and hopeful, awed and excited all at the same time. Tomorrow I know I will probably regret writing this, but for now I shall comply with my thoughts and write what has been plaguing and blessing my mind for the past day. This is a letter to someone special to me. Some may understand what I am saying, others could care less. Nonetheless, my letter remains.

Every night when I lay my head down to pray, I think of you. Not a day goes by when I do not hope you are wearing a smile on your face. I know God protects and blesses you always, and even though you may not see it, He is always holding your hand. Just look out to the sunset and you will see it. Gaze at the stars at night and you cannot deny His presence in your life. I have saved myself for you. Not a date or a kiss has been given, or ever will be given to another. I want you to know that no matter what you have done or what you feel, Christ can heal it and I will be there to hold you all the way. Even though we may be far apart now, someday we will be inseparable, bound by a love completely guided by the Father himself.' I wish that you would tell me how you know me well and want to be together', but I will wait as long as it takes to find you. You are my true love, always I will pray that I might remain faithful and worthy of your love. May God bless and keep you all your days and may He draw us closer every day...

It's Beautiful by Eleventyseven

I wish that You would tell me how
You know me well and want to be together
Fallen short and faded out
But You keep making gardens in this desert

Despite the grace that I dismissed
Forgiveness was the catalyst
To penetrate my heart with what is true

It's beautiful
You can turn mistakes to miracles
The way that You still love me after all
It's beautiful

Redeem the years I've thrown away
I'm ready to make good on what I've wasted
I'm asking You to shape my heart
I want to be Your work of art
'Cause when You change me
And make me more like You

It's beautiful
You can turn mistakes to miracles
The way that You still love me after all
It's beautiful

So help me God forbid
I never take for granted
This endless gift You give

It's beautiful
You can turn mistakes to miracles
The way that You still love me after all
It's beautiful
It's beautiful

I wish that You would tell me how
You know me well and want to be together
