As my debt grows, so my love does, too.
What you give I cannot half repay.
Your love for me enflames my love for you.

I can't help being moody, often blue,
Irritable, anxious, sad, and yet you stay.
As my debt grows, so my love does, too.

I know I'm lucky to have someone who
Will love me through this, day by troubled day.
Your love for me enflames my love for you.

Gifts like yours to me do not accrue.
Still, it's hard when giving goes one way.
As my debt grows, so my love does, too.

Yet unlike money, love is never due.
Its return is free, in just the way
Your love for me enflames my love for you,

A natural grace, making one of two.
And so this darkness has its own bright ray:
As my debt grows, so my love does, too;
Your love for me enflames my love for you


Hearts find little happiness in lust,
Although therein lies life's most lavish pleasure.
Perhaps one looks for love because one must,
Pressed to seek a gift that one might treasure.
Yet love and lust can complement each other,
Finding each in each an answering grace:
In lust a lonely fantasy of power
Fulfilled within love's mutual embrace.
Through love one preserves the best of blends,
Having each to serve the other's ends.

I Don't Have To...


I don't have to see you
To know you're always there
I don't have to speak to you
To know you’ll always care.


I don't have to turn from you
My true self to hide
I don't have to worry because
I know it's what God has planned.


I don't have to dwell on the past
And the wrong turns that I took
I don't have to keep things from you
My heart is an open book


I don't have to feel unattractive
On the days I look a mess
I don't have to fear what you think
Because you'll still say I'm gorgeous.


I don't have to stop myself
From telling you exactly what I feel
I don't have to pretend with you
Because what we have is real.


I don't have to rest my tired head
It's not slumber I desire
I don't have to speak to you
Each and every night
I don't have to, but I want to
because doing so make me feel alright.


I don't have to say I love you
A hundred times a day
But I'll always say I Love You my Sweet,
Because these Love, is for us to keep.

Thank you for being the heart of my life,
Harboring me in the arms of your love,
Anchoring me in the rock of your faith,
Needing me, that I not be in vain,
Knowing me well, yet loving me still.

You are the island I've found in my sea,
Ocean I dwell in and deep where I dive,
Unfailing heaven and passionate earth
