Wanting to be one of someone’s ‘we’

We All

I wanted them to love me
Or maybe just accept me
Didn’t we all worship Christ as Lord?
I didn’t fit their notions
I had all the wrong emotions
Sometimes I felt too weak to face the sword

I read and loved the leather Book
My gaze became a defeated look
I wished so much to fit and find a friend
I never got to make them see;
The love of God, so real in me,
I didn’t know I needed to defend

I want them to love me
Or maybe just accept me
Don’t we all worship Christ as Lord?
Must I fit with all their notions?
I have such strong emotions
Deep within this guarded heart, all safely stored

I read and love the leather Book
My eyes take on a pleading look
We all seek after God; we all have sinned
Father, help me make them see
The love of God is real in me
I only wish to find and be a friend
