One Great Love

How could I have existed so long
Going aimlessly
Been there, wasted, gone all wrong
Imprisoned in my plea

My silent plea that hopes in silence
That there's more to life than this
I guess it takes humbling Godly sense
To figure what I miss

Turn to me, my One Great Love
Open my eyes to you
Smoulder my heart and set it above
My reasons, weak, untrue
Overwhelm me, take over me
Love me to the end
From these chains of pretense set me free
And with your healing, let me mend

How could I have been so blind
When the answers have long been there
How could I have refused to mind
Your perfect, utmost care

You guided me through my lifeless years
Waiting patiently
You took my sins, my falls, my tears
All for the love of me

Turn to me, my One Great Love
Open my eyes to you
Smoulder my heart and set it above
My reasons, weak, untrue
Overwhelm me, take over me
Love me to the end
From these chains of pretense set me free
And with your healing, let me mend
