A Song for a Boy

So I wrote this song...It's about a boy...I don't know who he is yet...
Here are the lyrics...

My heart is moved by the thought of you
I wait, left to wonder
My mind it dreams
My heart it moves
I get that feeling

I know you will follow Him
And He'll lead you here
I pray, for you my love
And someday soon
You'll call my name
And I'll come running

But for now, until then...
I will wait
My eyes to Him, my heart is His
That's where I'll be
I'm at His feet
That's where you'll find me

There will be a day when
We'll stand before our God
With our hearts together
You'll take my hand
We'll say those words,
"Here's my forever"
We'll walk through life
With love so deep
My friend, my darling

But for now, until then...
I will wait
My eyes to Him, my heart is His
That's where I'll be
I'm at His feet
That's where you'll find me

God is obviously using this time to prepare you for something (and someone) wonderful. And since I know he's from Iowa City of course, maybe you'll be meeting (or reconnecting - since it could be someone you already know) with him when you come home in a few weeks! Ooh! Isn't that an exciting thought! Better bring your sexy with ya.

emily said...

Connie said...

Laura said...

ooh, I can't wait to see your sexy! Will it fit in your suitcase?? (Remember your 50 lb limit!!) Hey, maybe I'll get my sexy out of the back of my closet. I haven't used it in a really long time. It's probably dusty and rusty.

emily said...
