Say Won't You Say...

I was never a huge Jennifer Knapp follower. I know a decent amount of her songs, I believe.
Tonight "Say won't you say" started playing in my head. I had no idea what that song was about so I decided to look up the lyrics.

Say won't You say
Say that You love me
with love, ever, love, love everlasting?
All my devotion put into motion by You

Every morning I
have a chance to rise and give my all
but every afternoon I find I have only wasted time
In light of Your awe
Isn't love amazing, I forgot how to speak
knowing You are near and I am finally free

My eyes fear to close
this reckless letting go is hard to bear
on the edge of all I need, still I cling to what I see
and what have I there?
Bred my own disaster, who have I to blame?
When all I need is waiting to be fanned to flame

I opened up my eyes to see You standing there
Oh I can barely breathe, and I can hardly bear
All the love that I feel for You inside
I hope You feel it now, some,somehow

After reading through this a few times and attempting to find a semi-decent version to listen to on youtube - I was able to really see/hear what this song is about. I definitely can relate. Especially the first verse and the morning and afternoon thing....Not just with God at times - everything.

I am super tired so I'm ending this now. I just felt like writing so here I am and there I go.
