I called you up, you were in bed
Could barely make out the words that you said
But you wanted to see me instead so I got dressed
Then I stepped out into the snow
And walked for a mile or so
Felt the rush of blood come from the cold in my chest

You finally came to the door
And we talked for an hour or more
Until I asked if you would stay up till four
You said, "That's fine."
But you said, "There's something I have to say,
And I can't because I'm just so afraid."
And so I held you as you started to shake that night

Oh, my dear I'll wait for you
Grace tonight will pull us through

Until the tears have left your eyes
Until the fears can sleep at night
Until the demons that you're scared of disappear inside
Until this guilt begins to crack and the weight falls from your back
Oh, my dear I'll keep you in my arms tonight

You slowly lifted your head from your hands
You said, "I just don't think that you'll understand,
You'll never look at me that way again if you knew what I did."
And so your tears fell and melted the snow
You told me secrets nobody had known
But I never loved you more even though now I knew what you did

Oh My Dear.

haha Thats the name of this song! :) And it makes me say 'oh my dear!' haha I looove T.A.N!!! And cant wait til tomorrow!!!! And here's what Mike said about this song: It’s actually a story about something that happened between my wife and me; some secrets that she was so afraid to tell anybody. So it’s kind of the practical application of the first song [“Healing Begins”] and what’s incredible is this thing that she was so scared to tell me, when she finally just told me, I was like, ‘That’s it?’ And the weight that she carried for so long just fell off her. -Mike....and THAT, is what we call true love. :) Its unconditional. Its eternal. And its possible bc of a God who loved us FIRST!
