The No Seat Belt Song [or part of it]

So, it's sad this doesn't suit you now.
And me fresh out of rope...
Please ignore the lisp, I never meant to sound like this.
So take me and break me and make me strong like you.
I'll be forever grateful to this and you.

It's only you, beautiful.
Or I don't want anyone.
If I can choose it's only you.

Fix me to a chain around your neck and wear me like a nickel.
Even new wine served in old skins cheapens the taste.
I shot the pilot, now I'm begging you to fly this for me.
I'm here for you to use, broken and bruised.
Do you understand?

It's only you, beautiful.
Or I don't want anyone.
If I can choose, it's only you.
But how could I miscalculate...
perfect eyes will have perfect aim.
If I can choose, it's only you.


This comfort zone that I found you once in no longer enough for our relationship to be true and deep as it should be. The ache this creates kills me, but I have nothing left to propel me forward. I'm sorry that I'm so down like this, so pitiful, so broken, but can you build me up again? Can you make me strong like you? You are everything, you are everything, and I will rejoice in you, only you. The control I once thought I had is lost, and I need your guidance. I'm begging you to breathe your life into me, so that I may have a purpose. You are my purpose, my reason, and I am lost without your perfect love. You see me in my struggles, and you know why I must suffer. Please show me how I must choose, show me the steps I need to take, the hills I need to climb. It's only you, it's only you.

As I was reading this, the David Crowder song Only You was playing on my site.

I love you and He will show you. Engulf yourself in His goodness.
