Okay God
Okay God, you have me now, and though I'm not sure when and how
you found a way to slip inside, and bring to life what once had died
you found in me the place I hide, where all the tears that I have cried
have all but dried and disappeared, with every haunt, and all my fears,
No memories of any lies, in fields I play beneath the sky
Hills of green that roll on by, a private place that only I
could ever find or know about.
For here is where contentment grows, colors show,
and rows of seeds that I have sewn, begin to grow
unfold and glow, in this home, where I have grown
Where Sunlight falls and moonlight shone from up above,
This is where I hide my love
Okay God I'll trust in you, to guide me through
confide in you, I will not wait,
Shift my eyes or hesitate, at any cost
And all the faith that I have lost
I'll find again, rewind and mend
Open up my heart and then
begin again,
do what it takes and make amends
give thanks for all that I forsake
Forgive myself for my mistakes,
lose my regrets, accept my fate
Wash my hands of any hate,
free from my heart a snow white dove
This is what I'll do for love
Okay God, but now i'm scared, this heart to share
to shed this skin, this soul to bare, I find myself exposed again
To let her in, into her give,
let her inside the place I live,
And what if somehow on the way, the tides had changed
her eyes had strayed, and suddenly she drifts away
My fears again begin to play, how will I feel
when once again I need to heal,
And all the love I saved inside, she takes from me
and all the pride she breaks in me
What will I do, will I exist
Dear God I can’t stop thinking this
Upon her lips I placed a kiss
With all my love and tenderness, her taste I miss
her smile is gone, and I am left at very best
To linger on, try to be strong, as clouds of rain form up above
I 'm so afraid to lose my love.
Okay God, here I come, I'm tracing footsteps one by one
Strong is my faith, my vision clear
Upon my face the warming Sun, my time is here
My love to share, an angel in the sunlight glare
I squint to stare, shadow my eyes
I see Maria standing there, I take a step
then stop and stare, the wind is dancing in her hair
Upon her face a smile she wears, and then I melt
The way I feel I've never felt,
And suddenly , a spirit dance, delights in me
with all that she inspires in me, and all that she invites in me
In my soul a fire ignites,
With everything that she excites
and how her love it lights inside
And how her love it sets me free
and one step more I take and see
She's holding out her hand to me, I see her now,
and wonder why, I feel somehow, she’s meant for me
And then out loud, from in the sky,
a thunder cloud explodes and dies, and rolls away
Then disappears, my worries fade,
Inside her eyes the stars appear, colors parade
A warming glow through darkness breaks
and gentle rays of light escape, and gently fall on both of us
from up above
The time has come to share my love
