A Thousand Years

"......And the seven years was as one day, for the love he had to her." That is my favorite love story of the Bible. Not any other one. Just that one. Because that is love. And in just 10 days, it will be month 8 and I'm so terrified. Because you've gone home, and now you're back, and you're asking Tim when he will be back and its' so so soon and the summer hasn't changed anything and I'm terrified for the autumn, for the cold to come, for the darkness. Because it is coming. And everything I read in the Bible, every song I hear, ever sermon, is preparing me for it.
And when I lie down at night, and the tears burn down my cheeks, and I can't understand why, why still? why after so long? All I can think of is that verse. And this song. And even if it's seven years, I would wait for you forever, Levi. Even if it was a thousand....

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone?
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
