Description
From Chapter 10, “Anticipation,” of It’s Impossible by J H McIntosh — Act I: Love Awakens.
This gentle ballad with words like: ‘Cause somewhere between his faith and me, I saw what I’d been scared to feel, the kind of love that waits to heal, invite us into a moment of quiet reflection, where vulnerability meets grace in the tender act of kneeling. It creates a space to pause and feel the delicate balance between fear and trust, pride and humility. As the song unfolds, it offers a hopeful reminder that love often waits patiently, without demand, encouraging us to open ourselves to healing and understanding.
Lyrics
He wrote like one let out of a cage,
His words beckoned me from the page.
That dream where he knelt beside my chair,
Waiting, not asking, just..there.
I laughed at first, then it caught my breath,
‘Cause somewhere between his faith and me,
I saw what I’d been scared to feel,
The kind of love that waits to heal.
He saw me in grace and green,
But I’ve only lived between.
Between pride and need, between fight and flee,
Afraid of the woman he believes to see.
If I could kneel, just once tonight,
Let the walls fall in the candle light.
Maybe I’d learn what faith can feel,
If I could only stop to kneel.
He waits like prayer with open hands,
Not wanting more than to understand.
I called it strange, now it’s all too real,
This reciprocity I fear to feel.
If I could kneel, and not feel small,
To trust that love won’t take it all.
Maybe I’d find what grace reveals,
If only I could stop to kneel.
He doesn’t beg, he just sees,
It’s his faith that’s changing me.
The crumb he waits for isn’t bread,
It’s proof I’m hearing what he said.
If I could kneel, beside his face,
Maybe I’d see our Father’s grace.
No longer lost, no need to conceal,
Just feeling the love in his kneel.
He never asked for a crumb,
Never demanding I succumb.
Maybe faith is not about earning,
Just understanding our love’s yearning.
If I could kneel… I’d finally believe.
