Flesh and Soul

I wish I could live for eternity,* Spend every day and night Just gazing at your beauty. I would defy the gods, Challenge fate, And change the course of my life. I'd kill for you— Seize my heart from loving anyone else— If that's what it takes To be close to you, To be with you. I'd stand at the crossroads Between heaven and hell, And take whichever path you choose. I'd spend my days praying— Praying, praying, and praying— That you would feel the same. I wish you could hear me— My soul cries out: I love you. I love the version of myself I become When I'm with you. I'd become a better person, If that's what it takes, To spend my heavenly days with Jesus, Knowing that I followed Your voice— The voice that always Guides me toward the good. I'd smile for you, Be happy, Not because I'm special, But because I'm saved.
