as my brain functions musically, more than in any other way... equating life and situations to songs is second [if not first] nature. so having others communicate in the same manner blows me out of the water... wow!
after I made the briefest comment of an unknown frustration... he was clearly in great contemplation and no longer focused on the immediate task at hand [scrabble]
*singing softly from across the table*
"Am I naive to want a remedy for every bitter heart?
Can I believe You hold an exclamation point for every question mark? Yeah.
And can I leave the timing of this universe to bigger hands?
And may I be so bold to ask You to please hurry?"
there's more where that came from...
*noting an express desire to 'fix' things, trying to alleviate the concern* "It's not your burden!" I implored.
*trying to explain self* "Have you ever heard the song 'More Than You'll Ever Know' by Watermark?"
"Not that I can think of!"
(So I came home and looked it up...)
Something brought you to my mind today
I thought about the funny ways you make me laugh
And yet I feel like it's ok to cry with you
Something about just being with you
When I leave I feel like I've been with God
and that's the way it ought to be, yeah
Cause you've been more than a friend to me
you fight off my enemies
cause you have spoken the truth over my life
And you'll never know what it means to me
just to know you've been on your knees for me
Oh, you have blessed my life; more than you'll ever know
You had faith; when I had none
You prayed God would bring me a brand new song
When I didn't think I could find the strength to sing
and all the while I've been hoping that I'll
do the kind of praying for you that you've done for me
and that's the way it ought to be, yeah
Cause you've been more than a friend to me
you fight off my enemies
cause you have spoken the truth over my life
And you'll never know what it means to me
just to know you've been on your knees for me
Oh, you have blessed my life; more than you'll ever know
You have carried me; You have taken upon a burden
that wasn't your own, yeah
may that blessing return to you
A hundredfold
Cause you've been more than a friend to me
you fight off my enemies
cause you have spoken the truth over my life
And you'll never know what it means to me
just to know you've been on your knees for me
Oh, you have blessed my life; more than you'll ever know
...enough already!
