Why is it always so hard to love?
Hard to hope
Hard to believe
Hard to bear and endure
Why couldn’t life be like a movie
script?
Written and directed by us
Starring the greatest moments of
our existence
And missing all those memories we
wish we could edit away
Our first
crush, there
Our first kiss, there
Our first heartbreak, gone
Love in itself is a mystery
To care more for others than self
is beyond our sinful nature
But it is through receiving God’s
love
That we learn to give it away
You must first learn to love
yourself
As you are
As God made you to be
And then most importantly to love
him
Above All things
To be content with Him alone
For He IS love
To believe that he will withhold
no good thing from us
We must willingly lose what we
have
To gain all that he has for us
For his plan is flawless
See He decides the when, where
and how
We just decide to follow
To obey Him even when it hurts
Even when we don’t want to let go
To choose walk alone with God is
no easy task
To trust that he will guide you
in His perfect will
Sounds simple
But these growing pains, they’re
real
Lord you’ re stretching much more
than my faith
Developing in me perseverance,
character and hope
Still at times I feel like I’m
walking through a desert with only a mirage ahead of me
And the sandstorm I left on my
heels
Time after time I’ve prayed that
you would send someone to complete me
To lift me when I’m feeling low
To hold me when I’m too weak to
walk this road
To hear my pleas and console my
fears
To dry my tears
To love me, deeply
Without condition
Imperfect as I am
It’s at those times that your
answer is
I already have
Your word declares that I need
not be afraid
Because you live with me
You are my savior
You delight in me with gladness
With your love, you calm all my
fears
And when I find myself like Paul
Begging you to remove this thorn
in my flesh
You gently whisper to me
That your grace is all I need
That your power works best in my
weakness
So I look not at the troubles I
see before me
But fix my eyes upon the things I
cannot
For these trouble are passing
Much like this life
But the promise I have in you is
for all eternity.
