Eyes that see all that I can be
Hair that flows down to my need
Ears that find the faintest cry of mine
Hands that bind me when I bleed
Your love reminds me of one that I dream of
Free flowing grace from above
I can see through your eyes perfect care undisguised
A glimpse of His heart from the skies
From the skies, through your eyes
A wrist so slender, always ready to bend ere
You know exactly why or how
Trust like steel—your faith in me is real
Something I can’t touch but I sure can feel
Your love reminds me of one that I dream of
Free flowing grace from above
I can see through your eyes perfect care undisguised
A glimpse of His heart from the skies
From the skies, through your eyes
Strength unknown because it’s only shown
When my defenses have been blown
So soft of skin—your comfort strikes within
It’s stronger than the fear, the dread, the sin
Bone of my bone—at last!—flesh of my flesh
You feel like something missing from my chest
A mirrored voice of unspoken choices
Taken from my deepest rest
Your love reminds me of something I’ve seen of
Free flowing grace from above
I can see through your eyes though you try to disguise them
A glimpse of God’s heart from the skies
From the skies, through your eyes
Through your eyes
From the skies.
(For this, the week of our anniversary)
Beautiful and true! Amen! Happy anniversary, you two.
When I first read “To The Truest Woman I Know,” I felt a little uncomfortable. Sam’s words to and about his wife seemed too personal to be made so public. I wondered how Mary K felt about such personal sentiments being made public. But then I thought some more. These words really are an embodiment of what Sam has been teaching. The intimacy seen in the poem is a direct result of the differences between the genders. It makes his ideas leave the realm of the theoretical and shows this can be a reality within a Christian marriage. It also made me reflect on the Psalms, and how they are a public display of David’s intimate connection with the Lord. Beautiful words. Happy Anniversary friends!
You got it, Linda.
Thanks for noticing.
Wow!
