I want you when you're silly
and I want you when you're sad
I want you when you're happy
and I want you when you're mad
I want you when you're doing well
and I want you when you're hurting
I want you when you're so confused
and I want you when you're flirting
I want you when you're singing
I want you when you're not
I want you when you're feeling cold
and when you're feeling hot
I want to see the same colors you see
I want to experience your world
I want to hear the way you do
to think your thoughts, unfurled
You have taught me how to think
more efficiently and steady
You have taught me how to question
and to know when I am ready
Ready to jump
ready to leap
ready to risk the hurt
Trusting in Him
Giving Him all
Even though we are simply dirt
You reminded me of this
a curious, interesting thing
That our lives are so incomplete
without the love of our King
From dirt we came and to dirt we'll go
Our bodies dissolving like mist
But to run this race with you by my side
will be to finish it joy-kissed.
Kissed by joy
and kissed by sorrow
Kissed by the promise
of a better tomorrow
Tomorrow, to God
is a thousand years
In the eternal scheme of things
it holds no fears!
My companion and my friend,
you speak such truth to me
Our God has been so gracious
to let us live so free!
Here's to many more hours of laughter
and here's to the lonely days
When we look back on these moments
We will give Him all the praise.
I will follow you until my feet have failed
And then I will board a ship
Oh love, lead us heavenward, closer to Christ
Holding to Him we shall not slip.
