Unfaithful

My love for you It grew and grew My passion never waning To be with you To hear your voice It was so very sustaining I’d wait in the quiet All alone So no one could interrupt Our solitude so important to me I would never give it up My thoughts of you in everyway Were as common as my breath Don’t ever take away your love For it would be my death You helped me through Such troubled times And my grief you did bear You shored me up and steadied me I always felt you there Then without reason Without rhyme My visits shortened I gave you no time And before I knew My focus switched My heart became untrue To the one who always gave of himself I put our love on the highest shelf I didn’t need it anymore My time elsewhere was demanded Things were going oh so well I knew you’d understand it But I still loved you very much No one would ever doubt it And I knew I’d get back to you My word on this you could count it One lonely day A feeling of sadness Tried to overwhelm I called to you please come to me And fill my heart with gladness And you as faithful as before Your love it filled me and so much more My tears they did start to flow As my unfaithfulness to you I came to know My Lord Jesus you are always there All my burdens you gladly bear Why I can’t be consistent with my time Is a battle that rages in my mind Thank you God for loving me When I’m faithful When I’m selfish You never withhold your love from me That I might live victoriously And know that I will always strive To keep my faith and spirit alive Psalms 89:2 For I have said, “Lovingkindness will be built up forever; In the heavens You will establish Your faithfulness.”
