to love a Savior


Darling I want you to listen
I stayed up all night, so I could get this thing right
And I don't think there's anything missing
Cause a person like you, made it easy to do
I've waited for so long, to sing to you this song

this song is stuck in my head. it has been so long since a love song struck me this way. you know how it is when some church/christian songs can somehow be used to portray the romantic love two individuals feel? like IKAW (...ang bigay ng Maykapal, tugon sa aking dasal...). this time however i thought that this song by Amel Larriex would fit the love story i began during my LSS a few years back. and it is the love that i have found in this story which makes it so easy for me to say...

Cause your eyes are the windows to heaven Your smile could heal a million souls Your love completes my existence You're the other half that makes me whole You're the only other half that makes me whole

what would it be like to see Jesus' eyes? would they be a pale shade of blue or an arresting shade of ember? would they be twinkling in the twilight or compelling underneath the sun? would His eyes show love and compassion to a hubmle and contrite sinner like me? will He have a perfect grin filled with pearly white teeth? will he have an adorable crooked tooth in the corner of his lips? will he even smile at me at all? i'd like to think that when i see him he'd have his arms wide open to receive someone such as me. his love is amazing in depth, height and width. his love is agape, limitless and encompassing of everything. it makes it so easy for himto love me, so much that even my existence is swallowed in. and i have come to learn, through this love of his, that he is the other half that makes me whole. and it is ONLY through him and all that he has created that i can be whole. all those people who have come into my life...friends, family, lovers...they are visions of you.

I think the angels are your brothers
They told you about me, said you're just what she needs
And I find myself thanking your mother
For giving birth to a saint
My spirit flies when I say your name If there's one thing that's true It's that I was born to love you

it is my life' mission to worship you. my name alone, Isabel, means consecrated to God. and you are exactly what i need in the wretchedness and pain that accompany my journey. my entire spirit soars when i praise all that you have done. there arent enough words to describe how it feels do be carried in your arms and nursed by your care. truly lord you created me out of your love and to love you. i was born to love you and i am fated to die loving you.

Cause your eyes are the windows to heaven
Your smile could heal a million souls
Your love completes my existence
You're the other half that makes me whole
You're the only other half that makes me whole

You make my dreams Come true over and, over again And I honestly truly believe You and me are written in the stars I live my whole life through To giving thanks to you

all the dreams that i have surrendered to you have come true. in your time and in due course they have come into fulfillment. and i do believe that you have worked miracles in my life and have achieved wonders in all my plans. my name is etched in your heart and as you sit with your father in heaven i know that you are thinking of me every minute of every day. i will live my whole life giving thanks to you who have saved me. as the nails were driven through your flesh you saw remembered me and forgave me.

Cause your eyes are the windows to heaven Your smile could heal a million souls Your love completes my existence You're the other half that makes me whole You're the only other half that makes me whole

yes you're eyes are the windows to heaven...and even just gazing at them i am given a glimpse of eternal peace. you're love completes my existence and you are the only other half that makes me...whole.
