  cry of the wounded hunter

the mark of a Christian is observable love.
- Francis Schaeffer

love is something I got to be able to see;
talking about it don’t do too much for me
     cause most of what I see people do
     don’t match up with their words.

love is something I got to be able to feel;
someone I can touch something I know is real
     but people keep their distance these days
     they don’t get too close.

love is something I got to be able to share
cause livin’ life alone just leads to doubt and despair,
     and sometimes I’ve been so alone ...
     so empty inside.

people who need love - sometimes we wear a disguise
so that when we’re in a crowd no-one will recognize
     how desperately our hearts hunger for
     a love we don’t deserve.

just as I am with only one plea ...
a love I can see.
