I remember posting this to Facebook a few years back, and I want to share it with you all again because it is that meaningful to me.
Every time I read it, I hear God shouting at me, "I LOVE YOU! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?"
and I cry, because I know He does.
He loves me so incredibly much, that I can't even begin to understand it.
Please read this.
You deserve to know how much God loves you!
Do you know how you’ve caught my eye,
In the secret place, where you chose to die?
Do you know the way you move me?
Do you know the way you move me?
I've seen you there, longing to be mine.
I've heard the cry in the middle of the night.
I've seen you there reaching for understanding.
I've seen you there, longing to be mine.
I've heard you say “I will go anywhere and I will do anything.”
And “I will give everything just to be with you.”
I’ve heard your words.
I remember the vow of your youth.
I remember your “yes”.
I remember the very setting of your soul.
And do you know how you’ve caught my eye,
In the secret place where you chose to die?
Do you know the way you move me?
Do you know the way you move me?
You’ve ravished my heart!
You’re my favourite one, the only one.
When I look at you you’re the only one I see.
You’ve ravished me!
I would stop this entire room just to tell you that my eyes are on you, and that my heart is for you.
And I would stop this whole wide world just to tell you you’re not alone, that you are never alone.
All this reaching and all this longing – It is not in vain!
Wisdom will be justified.
Just hang on and don’t give up.
Don’t give in.
If you don’t quit, you win!
Listen to me...
Do you know how you’ve caught my eye,
In the secret place where you chose to die?
You are more beautiful than tears, more wonderful than jealous love.
You are awesome as an army with banners.
You only see your weakness, but I see strength.
There are so many - a multitude - that will never look back, but you keep on looking even though you’re looking through a mirror dimly lit.
You keep on looking even though there’s unbelief and doubt.
But listen, listen…
You keep on coming, and looking, and seeking, and knocking, and asking, and loving me!
That’s all I ask..
You don’t even know the strength that you possess.
So many would have grown bitter a long time ago, but you keep on coming, staying pliable underneath my hand.
I understand there’s pressure, but you don’t give up and you don’t give in...
If you don’t quit you win!
Just don’t give up, don’t give in!
You are more than a conqueror.
You’re more than this.
You are the one I want!
Is that enough for you? To know you are the one I want?
If you never move a man, is it enough to know that you’ve moved me?
Am I enough for you?
Because you are more than enough for me.
You’re the one I want, am I enough for you?
Is it enough for you just to know that you’ve moved me?
And if you never move man is it enough for you to know that you’ve moved my heart?
You are not just a project.
You are not just a trophy to show people how merciful I am.
You’re the one I want!
You are the one I want, like a fire within me!
Is it enough just knowing that you move me?
Forever and ever I want you to be with me, where I am.
And do you know, how you’ve caught my eye,
In the secret place where you chose to die?
You are not just my project.
You are the one I want!
There’s more than just pity.
You’re the one I want.
You’re the one I want!
Of all of creation you are my favourite.
You are the only one.
So few look back, and even the ones who do so often lose their way.
But you, my dove, have set your heart to go all the way.
I’ll take you there.
All the way.
Did you really mean it when you said that you would go anywhere?
And did you really mean it when you said that you’d be mine forever?
And did you really mean it when you vowed that you’d do anything?
Just give me everything and I’ll give you everything.
I’ll give you everything.
I’ll give you everything.
I’ll give you everything.
