Brothers and sisters
I wanna welcome you back to life
Back to the one that can make your next chapter
Your best chapter
Hallelujah
How are the chapters in your life going? As we start to get into some sense of 'new normal' here in New Zealand, you start to assess where your life is heading and whether you have truly learned what you were meant to during this difficult time. I don't know about you but I am sick of expectations. What I mean by that is, sometimes expectations can overwhelm your life and take you through experiences that you would rather forget, rather not have had, rather not have had to have experienced. But we can't forget to think in that way, because then all of those collective experiences would be classified as regrets, and nobody has time to sit down and cry it all out because we still have state of urgency, a state of emergency about life is really like and about how dire our situations truly are, without having to cry about. The time for crying is over. Action is required, even if we have to jolt ourselves back into fight mode, battle-weary as we are, because there is nobody left to fight alongside us.
How can it be that you love the most unlovable part of me, of me?
How could you see your life was the only one gift I'll ever need to be free?
It's amazing with you, I win even if I lose
Everything's working for my good as always
You might never meet anybody or come across anyone who will love you unconditionally. We may never see that coming in the correct packaging, but what time allows us to do, is reflect and recognise it when it arrives. Do you think you are an unlovable person? In my experience, people will stop loving you because you don't treat them right or they no longer feel loved. I mean, common sense dictates that you would not be around someone who does not know how to love you, and help you to heal you with their love. No matter the disappointments and the setbacks that life throws at you, dredging up regrets is not the way to process and move through it. I know that in the times I have lost, and no greater sense of loss has been felt to me in the eve before the anniversary of Loma's death, but I know that losing him has made me one of the most resilient people I know. Losing Loma has inadvertently helped me find myself.
He saved the day
He will come through
He won't doubt, that's not what super heroes do (Hallelujah)
No greater love makes my heart beat
All I wanna do is make you proud of me (that's why)
What would it mean to truly live a life without doubt? Would you be prepared to live a life with ultimate conviction? That you are so invested in yourself, trusting yourself and backing yourself, that you would be prepared to show the world just how wrong they are in their assumption of you. They don't know how much of a superhero lies inside you. They only see you as someone representing generations of people and countries of people who amount to nothing. We are not nothing. You are not nothing. God's love is such that He heals where everybody else fails. This is why we should always try to do our best to honour Him, to glorify Him and to trust in Him even when we feel bereft and lost without the things or the people who help our life to make sense.
I don't wanna love nobody but you
I don't wanna love nobody but you
I don't wanna love nobody
Love nobody but you
You are better off investing your love into He who holds unconditional love. We can never be prepared to see anything else as we will always be disappointed. Why should we seek love where it does not exist. We invest our love in the wrong people who do not have the capacity or the inclination to love you the way you deserve to be loved. But this realisation can only happen when you are completely honest with yourself and you are able to recognise exactly what it is, who it is, that you want to be with. You might surprise yourself and just want to be by yourself. Maybe you're in a relationship right now and it doesn't feel like you're in one. However we are, nobody loves us like Him.
How can it be, every one of my secrets that you keep
You cover me
You cover me (I appreciate it)
A mystery (it's amazing how), your patience with me, God will never leave (you don't give up on me)
Don't ever leave
Seek the light. Seek the protective cover of He who knows you best. Do you know how amazing God will move in your life, if you let Him into your heart? People are scared or have no inclination to be closer to God, and that's fine, that's their prerogative. We cannot force people to listen to our beliefs, all we can do is answer truthfully when people ask us questions. I have lost count of how many people have left my life. Some through no fault of their own, others because they needed to separate themselves from toxic environments or they returned to them. For whatever reasons we are no longer connected, we need to adopt patience as a way to help figure things out. We need to learn to trust.
Help me to see like you
No matter what I go through
Everything's working for my good for always (lemme tell you what he does)
I hope that you let setbacks in your life teach you about what you want from your life. There are things that we all go through in life that either weaker people fail to deal with or stronger people have to continue to dig deep to ensure that they are able to get through. We must learn to trust that everything we are going through is being worked through for our own good. We might think that when we are going through times of darkness that we cannot see what is meant for us. We may never believe that we deserve to be loved, or to love others in return. But until you can learn to understand who you are, believe that you have a place in this world, then we can never be able to put into practice what constitutes our own, very special love theory. . .
