A false dichotomy I still cannot figure out: God and lover
making someone their life's purpose
I'd condemn them and
secretly do the same calling it something else
I chased a God that I still believe in
knowing no man could hold up to the standards of my worship
Every time I drew near Him
A sacrifice of something dear to me was taken
a personal baggage weighing me down - lifted
But I lie down in the peace of your arms
the beauty of your heart
the gleaming of your eyes
loving you is a sacrifice I cannot give
surely He does not really ask for this?

Sacrifice
People live their lives searching desperately for lovemaking someone their life's purpose
I'd condemn them and
secretly do the same calling it something else
I chased a God that I still believe in
knowing no man could hold up to the standards of my worship
Every time I drew near Him
A sacrifice of something dear to me was taken
a personal baggage weighing me down - lifted
But I lie down in the peace of your arms
the beauty of your heart
the gleaming of your eyes
loving you is a sacrifice I cannot give
surely He does not really ask for this?
