Stubborn Love

Caught again. Your faithless friend.

Don't You ever tire of hearing

What a fool I've been?

Guess I should pray, but what can I say?

Oh, it hurts to know the hundred times

I've caused You pain.

The "forgive me" sounds so empty

When I never change.

Yet You stay and say, "I love you still,"

Forgiving me time and time again.

It's Your stubborn love

That never lets go of me.

I don't understand how You can stay

Perfect Love embracing the worst in me

How I long for Your stubborn love.

Funny me. Just couldn't see

Even long before I knew You,

You were loving me.

Sometimes I cry, You must cry, too,

When You see the broken promises

I've made to you.

I keep saying that I trust You

Though I seldom do.

Yet You stay and say You love me still,

Knowing some day I'll be like You.
