O Envious One

To love and not be loved in return -
That pain, that agony, that jealousy
How do You stand it?

How do You stand my faithlessness?
How do You do still remain so faithful, so loving...
So in love with someone as unworthy as me?

Why do I settle for a flower when I can enjoy the whole garden?
I think somewhere along the road,
I lost count, I lost beat, I lost the rhythm.
I lost sight of Your eyes.

I look back to the days of my youth
And know for a fact that it is by Your love that I'm still here
It is by Your grace that I can still love.
I can forgive.

Can my heart cry any louder -
All that I want is to sit at Your feet
And nothing more.

Let my heart rest...
At the sound of Your heartbeat.
