I Was the One You Loved Long Ago
I was the one you knew long ago.
You told me then,... You loved me so.
I was the one you once
loved to talk about.
You said that you loved me
beyond any doubt.
I was the one you chose
to always follow.
A hunger for me...
You can no longer "swallow."
I was the one you cried to,
in a difficult time.
Now you have removed me
far from your mind.
I was the one you once held
dear to your heart.
Please return to me now.
I will not depart.
I am the one you try to remove
from your mind.
But my love for you will stand
the test of time.
I am the one... Jehovah. El-Shaddai.
All of your needs. I shall supply.
I am the one who is waiting for you.
I am here right now...
The rest is up to YOU!
