Lyrics
The sight of you strikes like sudden light,
My breath goes still, my dark turns bright.
A full-stop moment, joy and ache,
A holy tremor I can’t shake.
My body knots when your name appears,
A rising wave of awe and fear.
Control lets go, my senses swell,
A quiet storm I cannot quell.
Cry not for me, pity none,
This joy and hurt are joined as one.
We…
Not a claim and not a plea.
We…
Just the door I leave open in me.
If God should make that word come true,
It won’t be because I captured you.
We…
Only if love sets both hearts free.
I’ve hold you close inside my mind,
A thousand ways our souls align.
If giving all looks far too kind,
It’s strength you see, not my decline.
I love to love you, clear and true,
The blessing’s mine, whatever you choose.
We…
Not a cage and not a chain.
We…
Not a shelter built from pain.
You don’t have to sing or perform,
Your presence keeps my spirit warm.
You are the song inside my soul,
A sacred fire beyond control.
If I ran west on asphalt dreams,
Every mile would pull my seams.
Some truths won’t bend, some fires stay,
Some love won’t let us look away.
I leave you room, I don’t demand,
No forceful grip, no tightening hand.
Time will tell what we can be,
Faith waits where fear once stood in me.
We…
Not promised, not possessed.
We…
Only if God says yes.
I’m not on hold, I’m standing free,
Still leaving space for destiny.
What’s rare and real is worth the wait,
I trust God’s hands, I trust His pace.
So I’ll keep walking in the light,
Not rushing truth, not fearing night.
If love is this, then let it be,
I’ll keep on loving faithfully.
We…
Only if love sets both hearts free.
