Oh perfect love come near to me
From hatred help me part
So I may bless my enemies
With glimpses of Thy heart
For I am wise and wicked
But foolish I must become
Your kingdom calls the little child
Oh Lord please make me one
Oh Lord please make me one
Oh love revealed through human ties
Confirmed within my soul
Thou has stirred the trembling thought
That man is not alone
So I will seek Your presence
Though great mysteries confound
By day and night You will arrive
In the souls unsettling sound
In the souls unsettling sound
Oh love that breaks all sinful bonds
Please conquer more of me
These walls of pride are building on
And keep me far from Thee
Ride swiftly wildest stallion
And raise your sword on high
And cut these chords of carnal lies
That I may with Thee ride
That I may with Thee ride

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha
