True Love

I never knew what love was like
until I met Him;
He is like no other love I've ever known;
Although I have never hugged His neck,
Or held His hand,
or looked deeply into His eyes,
I know that He is my
one and only true love

There is a distance between us,
But that doesn't bother me,
Because I know we will be together soon,
And I trust Him with my whole being,
For He is faithful, and kind,
And full of tender mercies.

He is my one and only true love;

He has given me a book full of writing
filled with His love for me;
I read it over, and over again;
Food for my soul,
My staff of life,
My comfort when I am lonely,

He is my God;
He is my one and only true love.

Psalms 23
