Arithmetic

     Today, I've spent the morning contemplating God's love - How simple of a concept it is, yet so complex that I'll never comprehend it.  How undeserving I am of His love and affection.  How I fail to give Him glory and simultaneously work way too hard on giving myself and my accomplishments glory.  How everyday, God is singing us a love song and yet we neglect and ignore it.  How He is the only one that knows the deepest realms of our hearts and loves us still.  He's madly in love with me and is the only one that can love me completely... yet some days, for some reason, it's not enough.  

Everyday, I want to wake up and listen to the love song God is singing to me in hopes that I can get some notes right and sing them right back to him.  Thank goodness for Jesus.

"Arithmetic" 

Brooke Fraser

I've been staring at the sky tonight
Marvelling and passing time
Wondering what to do with daylight
Until I can make you mine
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

I've been thinking of changing my mind
It never stays the same for long
But of all the things I know for sure
You're the only certain one
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

I've been counting up all my wrongs
One sorry for each star
See I'd apologise my way to you
If the heavens stretched that far
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

[Chorus]
I won't find what I am looking for
If I only "see" by keeping score
'Cos I know now you are so much more than arithmetic

'Cos if I add, if I subtract
If I give it all, try to take some back
I've forgotten the freedom that comes from the fact
That you are the sum
So you are the one I want

When the years are showing on my face
And my strongest days are gone
When my heart and flesh depart this place
From a life that sung your song

You'll still be the one I want
You'll still be the one I want
You'll still be the one I want
You'll still be the one I want
