The Ones I Love

The ones I love

Since the day we are born 
We're never meant to be alone
Family, friends, lovers too
They pledge love, faithfulness
But is it true?

It doesn't matter they're the ones I love
They're all sent from Him above
Perfectly imperfect 
As humans tend to be
We're all the leaves
Branching from the same tree

Unknowingly we hurt each other
With words that pierce the soul 
Back and forth our hearts we murder 
To avenge ourselves is our main goal

Ready to fight ready to aim
Our evil tongue ready to blame 
It's all just a lie 
That we want to deny

But truth will set a chained heart free
Ignoring all that the devil speaks 
Speak words of life and truly see
That hate will only havoc wreak 


Cause peace only comes when we let go
Of all past hurts, memories, and tears
Forgetting all going with Your flow
Loving till it doesn't hurt till there are no fears


So who are we to judge? 
What he or she has done?
It's not worth holding a grudge
What is worth it is to love

To love the way that You love us 
Always faithful and forgiving
Appreciating what is done 
Thankful for the life were living
