I create with my hands

I learned it from YOU

I love with my heart

I learned it from YOU

I hear songs in the silence

I learned it from YOU

If I had lived a thousand years...whether back or forward

Would I be any different?

Would my spirit still burn?

Would I have recognized YOU?

Would I have sought refuge in YOUR arms?

Would I have wept at YOUR feet until every last tear was shed?

Yes…

I would have known YOU

I would have searched the world over for YOU

My oh so precious LOVE

I feel with my soul

I learned it from YOU

I speak with my eyes

I learned it from YOU

Would my mind know if YOU were missing?

Would my soul recognize the empty space?

Yes…

I would know

I see with my heart

I learned it from YOU

I touch with my mind

I learned it from YOU

I sing praise with my spirit

I learned it from YOU

Though the depths of my heart elude me…

My motivations, thoughts and actions not always right…

I know that YOU love me

I know that YOU hear me

I know that YOU guide me

Because…

I learned it from YOU
