A false dichotomy I still cannot figure out: God and lover


Sacrifice

People live their lives searching desperately for love
making someone their life's purpose

I'd condemn them and
secretly do the same calling it something else

I chased a God that I still believe in
knowing no man could hold up to the standards of my worship

Every time I drew near Him
A sacrifice of something dear to me was taken
a personal baggage weighing me down - lifted

But I lie down in the peace of your arms
the beauty of your heart
the gleaming of your eyes

loving you is a sacrifice I cannot give

surely He does not really ask for this?
