Arithmetic and the Emerald City

I've been staring at the sky tonight
Marveling 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 apologize my way to You
If the heavens stretched that far
You are the one I want, You are the one I want

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...


(P.C.: Google Images)
Absolutely, positively looking forward to visiting this place. (!)

**Happy 32 years of marriage, mom and dad!**

  1. Kelsey! This is Jillian from James' account because he's already logged in on our computer. Did you write that poem? I loved it. And I think you're great. And you stir my affections for Jesus. And you're lovely.
    Thank you.
