Love waits for us, whenever we are ready...and very often that love arrives when we come to the end of ourselves, when our hopes and dreams, and what we lived for, lies shattered on the ground all around us. It's never too late find that Love, but sooner is definitely better than later...
lyrics
I can cause a flaming star to send light to your galaxy,
I can make the planet earth be a home of humanity,
I can change a man of clay into a living soul;
All parts of nature I control.
I can make the crimson sunset glow & light up your skies,
I can make the silver moonlight shine tonight in your eyes,
I can cause a gentle breeze to blow & refresh your mind;
I have created all mankind.
Chorus:
But I cannot make you love Me, and it makes My heart grieve
To know that you have heard of Me, but chose to not believe.
No, I cannot make you love Me, I can only beg & plead.
But I will always be here for you, if you ever feel the need.
I decide the times & seasons, the orbit of the globe as it whirls,
I design the hidden reasons, the difference in the boys & the girls.
My influence reaches realms & spheres as yet unexplored.
I write life's songs, I choose the chords.
Chorus:
But I cannot make you love Me, and it makes My heart grieve
To know that you have heard of Me, but chose to not believe.
No, I cannot make you love Me, I can only beg & plead.
But I will always be here for you, if you ever feel the need.
Bridge
My emotions make the seven oceans surge & swell.
I can raise a storm or cause the clouds to form at will.
I cry, & the rain pours.
I sigh, & thunder roars.
Stars fall & mountains shake
When My heart breaks.
Chorus:
But I cannot make you love Me, and it makes My heart grieve
To know that you have heard of Me, but chose to not believe.
No, I cannot make you love Me, I can only beg & plead.
But I will always be here for you, if you ever feel the need.
If you ever feel the need...
