Anchored, Yet Free...See Every Part of Me

These two songs came to mind tonight. I think the lyrics really speak well and give just a little glimpse as to what is going on in my heart.



Only Your Love
Margaret Becker

Even as I stand here before You
Thinking of the graces I have received
I am so amazed by Your wonders
Every seed, every star and this life that I breathe
How can I express the joy that's in my soul
Jesus, I want You to know

Only Your love Does this to me
Lifts me above what I thought I could be
I fly like a banner
Anchored yet free
And only Your love does this to me

And even as I stand here before You
Still there is a distance I long to close
Lord, I want to run right straight toward You
Wanna cling like a child to the folds of Your robe
You're my champion, my comfort and my strength
Jesus, I'll tell You again

Only Your love Does this to me
Lifts me above what I thought I could be
I fly like a banner
Anchored yet free
And only Your love does this to me

I freely choose to do Your will
'Cause every moment of my life
Is a moment I want You to fill
Only Your loveDoes this to me
Lifts me above what I thought I could be
I fly like a banner
Anchored yet freeOnly Your love does this to me


Love Takes Time
Bryan Duncan

Oh, have you ever been lied to? Maybe mistreated
Taken for granted 'Til you just can't stand it?
Were you ever mistaken? Thought to be someone
That you just can't be? So, where's the love you need?

(Love takes time Please be kind See every part of me)
Cause I wanna be loved!
(Love ain't blind Ties that bind Take on eternity)

Oh, would you like to be trusted Well, for once in your life?
Carry that fire Without burnin' each other
Are you easily angry Oh, can you bury your pride
Could you ever forgive me And not keep it inside??

(Love takes time Please be kind See every part of me)
Cause I wanna be loved!
(Love ain't blind Ties that bind Take on eternity)
Cause I wanna be loved!
(Love takes time Please be kind See every part of me)
Oh, yeah! (Love ain't blind Ties that bind Take on eternity)

Hey! make a sacrifice sometimes Maybe more than you planned
Don't you hate to go through The pain it takes to make a stand
A hardened heart or a heartache To admit that you're wrong
And though it's hard It hardly matters if that love is gone
Make a sacrifice sometimes!
(Love takes time Please be kind See every part of me)
Cause I wanna be loved!
(Love ain't blind Ties that bind Take on eternity, on eternity)
(Love takes time Please be kind See every part of me, every part of me)
(Love ain't blind Ties that bind Take on eternity, on eternity Love takes time Please be kind)
Please be kind!
(See every part of me)
