This is a hard one, Father
It’s taking its toll on my mind
How do I dismiss the pressure
That follows me all the time?

Thoughts are tumbling around,
Everywhere I turn;
I’m trying to let go, Dear Lord
Help me not to yearn.

I love but I’m not loved back,
They don’t even see me;
It’s not right, I know deep within,
Yet these feelings are pure misery.

Loose me, Jesus, I pray;
You died for me to be new;
Born me again, and clean me afresh
That true love I yearn for is YOU!

This is a new thing for me;
To trust in a Saviour divine;
Who loves unconditionally
Whose heart is totally mine!

Teach me to trust you, Jesus
To live in a love that is real;
Teach me to embrace you fully,
So my spirit and soul can heal.

Your Word talks clear and true
It accepts me just as I am;
As I read it, I feel your closeness
And I know I’m your dear little lamb.

Lord, can I love you wholly,
With my mind, body and soul?
“Yes, my child,” You reply..
“That is My Father’s goal.”

“He sent me to fulfill your desires,
To lead you to waters so still;
To reconcile you to Him
And give you a holy zeal.”

“Forget the past and step forth,
Let Me heal your hurt;”
Former things shall pass away,
And become as old as dirt.”

“Stand strong, and deny yourself,”
Says the Saviour – My Lord;
Flesh must fight so you may live
As I bind you to My Love’s Cord.”

“I draw you, my chlld, to a Love Feast,
Sup with me in prayer;
Leave those unrequited love memories,
Which are not welcome there.”

“Think on things above,
Set your affections on Me;
Obedience and Faith will be all yours,
This is your victory.”
