You Love Me

             ***

Something has happened

I don’t understand

I’m crying for love

Then You take my hand

You pull me up

Help me to my feet

Oh! How wounds hurt

After a defeat

My eyes have grown swollen

From tears I have cried

I feel so abandoned

But You stayed by my side

I go limp in Your arms

I give up the fight

I let go of the pain

And You hold me tight

I lift up my head

And see in disgrace

The print of my hand

That once slapped Your face

And Your eyes have grown swollen

From tears You have cried

When You so loved me…

And I abandoned Your side
