Chords

I'm dreaming of the end 

of this waiting for you,

you who long to be by my side

as intensely as I ache 

for your arrival

in my life,

in my heart.

I'm looking forward

to singing with you...

you who'll know how

to play the chords in my heart

that nobody else

has known

how to play.

I'm counting the days

till I'll hold hands and pray with you,

you, who will hold my heart

and I'll hold yours,

pursuing our Father God 

as one.

I'm looking forward

to dancing with you,

you who'll get me

like I'll get you, 

turning and spinning

celebrating our love

in joyful rhythm. 

 I'm smiling at the thought

of laughing with you,

you who love to laugh

until tears merge with the

smile lines on your handsome face.

I'm waiting for the time

when I'll eat of God's Word with you,

you who will hunger 

for His Word as intensely

as I, as we break bread together

and drink of the wine 

remembering.

I'm anticipating the ways

I'll work through ups and downs with you,

you who are committed to loving

together, confident of God's calling

us to a holy, yet earthly love,

perfected, as we gaze at

the beauty of our Lord

and seek Him together

in our home. 

 

I'm yearning for the moments

of serving God beside you,

you who desire to flow

in your gifts and callings

glorifying our Father, 

fulfilling our purpose

together.

I'm longing for the days

I'll experience true love with you,

you who will love me

as Christ loved the Church.

and I'll respect and honor you

forever giving and receiving

in love.

I'm craving the time

we'll spend writing

the last chapter of US,

I'll understand how

to sing the melody

to your soul

that no one else

has heard. 

To hear the chords 

to play the chords

in your heart,

that no one else

has played.
