the Story of You and Me

There’s this line running through my head
Us, its us
Not me, not you
But you and me, together
A truth non can undo
Interwoven, tightly wound
Inseparable, forever bound
It bounces and moves and sometimes forgets
But never does that change
The us in my head

I started out as just me
You have always been you
You pursed and wooed
I ran away, and sometimes still do

The life you have
And the death you gave
Sealed my fate
Forever, your blood to save

It sounds strange, blood and body
Cover my nasty sin soaked life
And yet its true, hosea in the godly flesh
Pursing his bride to make her his wife

A prostitute I have been,
A whore that gives to all
I hid in the darkness
Covered only by the fall

You found me, oh king
I was shrouded in the dark
Your radiance destroyed the night
Wiped away my death mark

Your beauty and your love
Your strength and your grace
Became all that I knew
As I looked upon your face

Sometimes I forget
That I’m your bride
And you, oh pursuer of hearts
Are with whom I reside

You have covered me in your cloak
Pure white that I can’t create
Your purity is my portion
Shame no longer my fate

This is your song from the place
Above the sky to my heart
This has been your everlasting plan
That you set in motion from the start

You who dwell within me
There is always us
I am not by myself
Never single, always one plus

A mystery I may never know
An understanding I can’t seize
But this place of mystery with you
Is better than my own half answers of ease

All of this so I could know you, love you
And I do, lover of my soul
Sin was just the obstacle
That I would be with you was the goal

There’s this line running through my head
Us, it’s us
Not just me, not just you
But you and me, together
A truth non can undo

Us
