Bone of my Bones

The years have come and gone
Since I first took your hand in mine
I recall the nights we had
Where we sat up until dawn
We’d steal ourselves away
In the glow of our young hearts
Where every stolen moment
Made me feel more alive

This feeling wasn’t love
Untested and fragile
So fleeting and faint
It was frivolous and frail
So when it all burned up
All that’s left was my bare heart
Selfish, proud and dumb
And no idea how to love

Bone of my bones
Flesh of my flesh
God make these two hearts one
I’m giving up
On everything else
Until I learn to live
For her

As I let go of my desires
Lay down all of me each day
I discover what is better
A life lived for another
Day by day I try
To remember who I am
An undeserving boy
Who was given a treasure

Bone of my bones
Flesh of my flesh
God make these two hearts one
I’m giving up
On everything else
Until I learn to live
For her

Forgive me - I’ve been selfish and wrong
But now my heart is set on you
When you come home I’ll be waiting
I’ll be here, I’m yours
Always
