May I Have This Dance

No oil to heal, no suture to bind

No bandage to seal, no surgeon I find

No clinic to enter, no place to escape

No medical center, no refuge seems safe

Empty and sad, no smile on my face

But deep from within, His voice whispers “Grace”

 

Remember, dear loved one, I hear His voice say

In my love you’ll make it, so trust me today

The storm you now walk in, is not a mistake

It’s from my own hand and it’s all for my sake

It’s my invitation to dance with your King

For you are my bride. You wear my ring

 

I see where you’re wounded; I know you’re in pain

You don’t understand this is all for your gain

To you it is dark, no clearing in sight

But it’s our true love story illumined in light

I’m truly your hero and so very near

My right hand is on you, there’s no need to fear

 

I’m your mightiest refuge; I’m all that you need

The only true healing for which you now plead

I seal, bind, and heal; I’m your place of retreat

Bring all of your sorrow and all your defeat

We’ll sit here together, just you and I

I’ll bring my face close and for a while we’ll cry

 

In these times of sorrow with our faces so near

You take in my breath, and your mind starts to clear

My truth brings you comfort, as lies are replaced

Hope is renewed, doom is erased

Though still you may sorrow, you’ll find a deep peace

I’m giving it to you. It’s for you to keep

 

In our times together, when it’s just us two

I’ll tell you secrets and what you should do

Your deepest desire you don’t really know

It’s hidden within you, but I see it glow

I see what is hidden beginning to shine

Your deepest desire. You want to be mine!

 

And if you could see how my heart beats inside

How I dance as I look at my beautiful bride

You’d reach out your hand and place it in mine

We’d waltz ‘round together, forgetting the time

For you’ve found your home and I have your heart

So, may I have this dance? It’s a good time to start”.
