All For You
Can you resist so great a Love as this
Can you keep on running away from arms
That reach out for you in your darkness
The darkness that seems to grip you in
A icy cold grasp holding you in its cage,
You're able to see the light, but too
Afraid to let go of the steely bars you've
Grown accustom to clinging to so tightly
You need not fear so great a Love as His
For He came not to condemn you, but to
Set you free from all things that bind
You to a lesser life of slavery
For He paid the ultimate price, shedding
Blood so pure, untainted by sin,poured out
For you to know within your soul, your mind
And your heart forever the Divine Mercy
Of a God, who became like you, and who loves
You with a relentless passion, unyielding
As the grave and stronger than death
The death that holds you now
And keeps you in fear and shivering in
Darkness where you've remained for so long
So let go, give up, don't hide any longer
And know that no man or woman is ever as tall
As when they fall to their knees at His feet,
To be lifted up to His breast, near His heart
Higher into the realm of purest Love, where
Only light, and warmth, and grace abound
To be held forever near that heart that beats
Only for you, only for you...all...for...you
