I never thought I'd need you there when I cried
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
is made up on your side
When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
All the words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you
I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do
Reminds me of you
And the clothes you left
they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do
When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And when you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you
We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah Yeah
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me
Yeah
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear will always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

Many things in life are hard for me
Many things can pull us down
I don't understand why I do what I do
How could I take my eyes off You
After all You've done for me
And after all You've done for me
It's by Your grace and love I am saved
It's by Your grace and love You've forgiven me, hey
And by that love and grace, I'm amazed
It's by Your grace and love I am free
I am free
And it's by grace and love that I am free
I'll live with you eternally
I thank you Lord that I am free
I thank you Lord for loving me
I thank you Lord for dying upon the tree of Calvary
I thank you Lord for loving me
I thank you Lord for dying for me
Because it's by grace and love I am saved
It's by Your grace and love You've forgiven me, hey
And by that love and grace, I'm amazed
It's by Your grace and love I am free
I am free
Many things in life are hard for me
But my grace and love You've forgiven me
And by grace and love we are free

I know its possibly the oddest mix of songs, Avril and Kutless, but it fits my life right now. The avril one, I know its meant to be a boy-girl song, but parts of it make me think of God. Not that he leaves, but when I screw up, misplace my priorities, lose that close loving relationship that I had, then those words just apply so much. True, that a lot of it applies to the missing of more than just God, and that happens as well. It is in that missing that things are realized though, like just how much of an incredible person you were with. How much a part of you that person has become. But how sometimes, because of how much we care for that other person, and for ourselves, we forget about putting God first in our lives, and honoring Him in all we do.
Its been an "interesting" weekend, full of breaking, restoration, tears, joys, love and absolute amazement at how great of a God we are honored to be in a relationship with.
How great is our God!
