Give Me All of It

All the questions answered
All the feeling shown
All of loves reality all the way
to the bone

All the sit beside me's
All the time on the phone
All secrets finally revealed
we made ourselves at home

All the meet my relatives
All the things I own
All the giving pleasure
especially when we're alone

All the heavenly wishes
All secret jealousies known
All the Earth could give us
till suddenly you were gone

All the Angels mourned us
All of our worlds time was gone
All that I had given suddenly 
battered and scorned
 
All the meaningful weeping
All the shock of alone
All the weary depressions
irresistibly shone

Yet all of you I gave to God
Who gave me to you
All I know is waiting for me
with in my faithful view
All of Us, this part of me that
God has joined with you
Just waiting for a better beginning 
When God makes all things new
