A love song

This week's post here on The Electric Gospel takes a poetic form.   Casey Sauer wrote this song and said I could share it with you here!  (Maybe one of these days we can get Casey to sing it for us too.)

****************************

Dear, why are you hiding? And who has hurt you?

Your beauty is being locked inside

Please come to me and let me heal you

I am the Rock; in me abide

Your strength can’t help, sorry to say

It only hurts worse, so do not delay

It’s time to surrender and take down this mask

I’m here to help, in any way you ask

So give up your armor and put down your sword

I’ll be your protector, my name is the Lord

No one can beat me, no need to retreat

When it’s up to you, it’s always defeat

Please give me your trust; I will not fail

It’s for your own good that you don’t prevail

Your faith will rise and I’ll open your eyes

Now heart, be free

So run now with grace, ever seeking my face

Just look to the letters I wrote you

They’ll give you comfort, they’ll give you peace

Not like a man, or money, or you

I am different you see, It’s hard to explain

A lot of things about me can never be plain

But a few things are, and here’s one or two

I will never fail, nor will my love for you

So give up your armor and put down your sword

I’ll be your protector, my name is the Lord

No one can beat me, no need to retreat

When it’s up to you, it’s always defeat

Please give me your trust; I will not fail

I’ll shelter your beauty, through storms it will sail

Your faith will rise and I’ll open your eyes

Now heart, be free

You’ll feel the fire of love again

The way it’s meant to be

Just remember darling, in everything,

You’re perfect to me

So give up your armor, and put down your sword

I am your protector, you know me as “Lord”

No one can beat me, no need to retreat

I will stand for you through everything

Your trust in me will be your light

You will be the one shining at night

I’ve filled your heart with mercy and grace

Now heart, you’re free
