i'm going to be really cheesy.

and i stole that title from Rachel Stark and my post will be her stolen words as well. we went to see the AU singers and they sang All I Ask of You from Phantom of the Opera. afterwards, we both agreed that the words are such beautiful words that could so express the love that Christ has for us. i know it might be a stretch to take a love song from a play, but wow... read them.

All I Ask of You
Raoul
No more talk
of darkness,
Forget these
wide-eyed fears.
I'm here,
nothing can harm you -my words will
warm and calm you.
Let me be
your freedom,
let daylight
dry -your tears.
I'm here,with you, beside you,
to guard you
and to guide you . . .
Let me be
your shelter,
let me be your light.
You're safe:
No-one will find you
your fears are
far behind you . . .
christine
All I want
is freedom,
a world with
no more night . . .
and you
always beside me
to hold me
and to hide me . . .
raoul
Then say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
Iet me lead you
from your solitude . . .
Say you need me
with you
here, beside you . . .
anywhere you go,
let me go too -Christine,
that's all I ask
of you . . .
Anywhere you go
let me go too . . .
Love me -that's all I ask
of you .


umm, umm. so good. what a beautiful love He has for us.

"He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him." - John 14:21
