about

In my families music room after a rough semester at James Madison University, not knowing how or if I could give or receive love, I wrote this song.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Love is patient love is kind it never fails
But I’ve failed again this time
I’ve been running for so long
But You caught up to me
Your arms are open and they’re open wide
But I can’t embrace You
Cause I have pride built up like walls
They’re made of stone, but I crumble at Your sight

Chorus:
You are love You are love
You are a desert well
You are love You are love
When I can’t go on
You are love You are love
You are a lighthouse
You are love You are love
When I lose my way

Verse 2:
Love is patient love is kind It never fails
But this, this is You and not I
Walls have crumbled and the season is spring
And I live in Your embrace
But the road ahead it seems so long
And I’m afraid I’ll fail You
And You say “You will fall but when you do
I will carry you.”

Chorus:
You are love You are love
You are a desert well
You are love You are love
When I can’t go on
You are love You are love
You are a lighthouse
You are love You are love
When I lose my way
