A friend's marriage falling apart. Another who's husband has had something else show up on a scan and it could mean more cancer or more surgery - more pain for their family. Conflict in friendships that remains unresolved for now. And then own things that just remain unwritten here.
Over the weekend I heard a song that spoke to my heart and left me in tears. I will always love how music has the ability to reach into my soul and give words to things my heart just can't explain on its own. For today, I only have this to share. It's my prayer to God. It's the prayer for my marriage. It's the prayer of my heart.
I want to give all of me. It's where I'll start....
Go here to listen.
All of Me - by Matt Hammitt
Afraid to love, something that could break
Could I move on if you were torn away?
And I'm so close to what I can't control
I can't give you half my heart and pray He makes you whole
You're gonna have all of me
You're gonna have all of me
You're worth every falling tear
You're worth facing any fear
You're gonna know all my love
Even if it's not enough
Enough to mend our broken hearts
But giving you all of me is where I'll start
I won't let sadness steal you from my arms
I won't let pain keep you from my heart
I'll trade the fear of all that I could lose
For every moment that I'll share with you
You're gonna have all of me
You're gonna have all of me
You're worth every falling tear
You're worth facing any fear
You're gonna know all my love
Even if it's not enough
Enough to mend our broken hearts
But giving you all of me is where I'll start
Heaven brought you to this moment, it's too wonderful to speak
You're worth all of me, you're worth all of me
So let me recklessly love you, even if I bleed
You're worth all of me, you're worth all of me
You're gonna have all of me
You're gonna have all of me
You're worth every falling tear
You're worth facing any fear
You're gonna know all my love
Even if it's not enough
Enough to mend our broken hearts
But giving you all of me is where I'll start
Afraid to love, something that could break
Could I move on if you were torn away?
And I'm so close to what I can't control
I can't give you half my heart and pray He makes you whole
You're gonna have all of me
You're gonna have all of me
You're worth every falling tear
You're worth facing any fear
You're gonna know all my love
Even if it's not enough
Enough to mend our broken hearts
But giving you all of me is where I'll start
I won't let sadness steal you from my arms
I won't let pain keep you from my heart
I'll trade the fear of all that I could lose
For every moment that I'll share with you
You're gonna have all of me
You're gonna have all of me
You're worth every falling tear
You're worth facing any fear
You're gonna know all my love
Even if it's not enough
Enough to mend our broken hearts
But giving you all of me is where I'll start
Heaven brought you to this moment, it's too wonderful to speak
You're worth all of me, you're worth all of me
So let me recklessly love you, even if I bleed
You're worth all of me, you're worth all of me
You're gonna have all of me
You're gonna have all of me
You're worth every falling tear
You're worth facing any fear
You're gonna know all my love
Even if it's not enough
Enough to mend our broken hearts
But giving you all of me is where I'll start
This is so heartfelt :) My heart goes out to your friends and they'll be in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it the most AMAZING song??? Matt Hammitt and his wife, Sarah are friends of ours(they live a few blocks from us. Sanctus Real just did a concert at our church as that is their home church too. Matt is so talented and this song speaks to my heart more than any other song out there right now. He truly is a man of "God"!
