The Story of Love

‘Twas a magical moment
When you entered my life
Our dreams became real
Nothing could stop us
It was a story of love

But the dreams were too big
There wasn’t enough time
We were too weak
Our reach was too short
It slipped from our grasp…this fading story of love

The words were too bitter
The pain was too great
We blamed one another
The hole was too deep
We lost all hope…in the dying story of love

We built walls of protection
We buried our emotions
The wounds never healed
We numbed them with addictions
We surrendered to failure…giving up on our story of love

Our vision grows dim
The noise becomes silence

We flat line from exhaustion
Death knocks on the door
Here’s where it ends…the story of love is no more

Or is it?

We fell for the lies
We were fooled by our folly
We were driven by our pride
We took our eyes off the One
We lost sight…of the true story of love

He walked in our shoes
He felt what we feel
He pleaded to the Father
He died for our souls
It’s the greatest story ever told…His story of love

He promised to restore us
To save us from ourselves
Redemption is ours for the taking
Our wounds can be healed
To renew and resurrect…our story of love

To be surrounded by His love
To be united together with Him
To have life everlasting
To be transformed by His glory
We will walk heart-to-heart… it’s the true story of love
