As if I could ever let go of you

You, who made my spirit blush

And my soul burn red like firing bushes

I couldn’t even if I should

Even if I wished I would

You had a hold of me

Before I could even know to tell

But my soul know, my God know

My Wisdom know that it was you

She tried to tell me, she’d say, “It’s Will”

But I just couldn’t understand

You were standing right there in front of me

Yet, I couldn’t figure it out; I just couldn’t see

But, my soul knew, she knew all along

And I felt it in my mind, my body, my heart

And had no idea what you were

That you were the other half of me

That you were everything I’d never be

Everything I always was, always knew as true

It all came wrapped up in you

Delivered in the most inconspicuous package

I was surprised when I opened my eyes

To see the most delightful gift

All my hopes and dreams

All my joys and fears

All my everything, was all wrapped up

In you

How could I let go of that?

Wouldn’t that make me silly?

Heaven sent me beautiful

Beautiful are you

So, God sent me his son

And you came to me

As if he told you to

As though you already knew

That I’d never let go of you
