Four things I need
Three will I never receive
A strong warm embrace that says yes I belong
A kind listen to all of the words in my songs
A calm loving presence here when I depart
A still small voice whispering into my heart
Four things I give
Three will you never receive
A strong warm embrace that says yes you belong
A kind listen to all of the things that went wrong
A calm loving presence there when you depart
A still-painful reminder of all of the darkness I made you take part
Four things I am
Three will I ever be
A strong tacit oppressor that touches too long
A kind but wounded creature that can't get along
A calm fading presence that longs to depart
A still stumbling child that yearns for His presence to dwell in his heart
