I prayed for a kind of love that could outstand the night
I prayed for a kind of love that would put up a fight
The kind that makes it hard to say goodnight
The kind of love that gives lust a fright
I prayed for a kind of love that makes darkness look bright
I prayed for a kind of love that sees faith when troubles blur sight
The kind Shakespeare hasn’t lived long enough to write
The kind of love that chooses peace more than it seeks to be right
I prayed for a kind of love it takes practice to recite
I prayed for a kind of love passion and purpose ignite
The kind of love that makes others unite
The kind of love that make heavy days feel light
I prayed for a kind of love that reaches God’s height
I prayed for a kind of love that mirrors his might
And when I said Amen, he did more than just answer me
On a scale of 1 to 10 he looked at you and gave me 20
There you were all along; standing closer than where I initially thought you would be
I knew you were trouble from the moment you walked in
Because you left with my lungs when we first said goodbye
And the only way I could breathe again is if I saw you one more time
You conquered me in a heartbeat, World War Three with no need for an army
How can I forget the many walls I had to leap?
The Rocky Mountains I had to climb? Just to say that you are mine
But honey, if life had a replay button
I’d press every breath upon Jericho all over again
If it means I get to hold the hand of my promised land
Before we could fly, we learnt how to walk it out
And when our hands were too wet with sweat to hold on to each other,
God tied himself to the knot until we became
A triple braided cord not easily broken
Call me crazy but I’ve relived this day in my mind
More often then I reset my alarm when I’m tired
When I talk about you my tongue loses touch with language
And all I’m left with, is awe
How do you describe incredible?
Can words ever fit the standards of remarkable?
I don’t need the web to find the meaning of love
When I am living its definition with you
Believe it or not you’re the closest thing I have to Heaven
I choose to read through the pages of your soul until our spirits return to our celestial bodies
I’ve never been to forever, but I’d like to go there with you
I’ve seen The truth in your eyes and haven’t been able to blink ever since.
I prayed for a kind of love that exceeds infinity
I prayed for a kind of love that professes the Trinity
The kind that forfeits intellect for vulnerability
The kind of love that echoes divinity
And when I said Amen, God did more than just come through On a scale of 1 to 10, he looked around and gave me you.
