Lord and Lover

the early afternoon reminds me of You

what are You saying to me?

I'm listening in the streets

wandering in-between yellow houses

to think

dancing,

dreaming,

driving,

I think

all of my time is made for two

walking,

waiting,

wishing,

writing

all of my time is spent with You

so be my only Lord and Lover

be my only Lord and Lover

there's only one candle burning at the catholic church

I find myself in a pew

the walls and windows are watching

filled with the past of the people who loved You

silence listens

sunlight glistens

the stained glass saints put me to sleep

in Your house there's no time wasted

grow in me a love that's deep

be my only Lord and Lover

be my only Lord and Lover

my watercolor love bleeds out

but You are faithful in the drought

the Rembrandt of my heart

living artist, live in me

paint a beauty incomplete

be my everything

be my only Lord and Lover

be my only Lord and Lover

be my only Lord and Lover

be my only Lord and Lover

note: all of my time is spent with You means not that I spend all my time with Jesus, but that He is always choosing and loving me.
