THIS SONG IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK.
THIS IS A LULLABY.

A COMFORTING,   CALLING,    LULLABY 
                      FROM GOD...   TO YOU.


Song Story:  THE  LYRICS:
YES.  In case you were wondering, the idea for the song came after I happened to see a commercial for a movie with the line that begins this song.  God can use anything to inspire us with parables about His Deep Love:)

This was one of my earliest songs,  written ten months after God's first song gift to me of "Above My Sorrow Sea."  And,  like that one -- God gave me the ideas for the music as well as the lyrics within hours.

And -- like for many songs,  I deliberately threw in some *really* unexpected melody notes for the drama and to make the song "different".  Another idea from God's Creative Spirit, I do believe.

Dedicated to God 14 January 2009

LYRICS
1
VERSES 1 and 2.        A  PRAYER FROM GOD TO YOU:
I know what you did last summer.  I know what you did last fall.
I know what you did just last week.  And I love you DESPITE it all.
I saw when you hurt that person.  I heard all those words you said.
I feel all the pain you cause others AND YOURSELF, and I love you DESPITE it all.

CHORUS
Why is it so hard for you to understand, 
I HATE when you think ways that I never planned.
I HATE all the times I've called, but you just ran.
I HATE your mean words said to others AND you.
I HATE all the self-centered hurts that you do.
    BUT
still I will NEVER hate you.
I LOVE you despite all you do and say.
I LOVE you and yearn for the day.....
you believe.... my Promise:
        I LOVE YOU DESPITE.

VERSES 3 and 4.        God's prayer to you continues:

I know when you try and give up.  

I know when you don't do your best.
I know all you think you can hide from your God,  Still I
love you just like    the rest.
I know why you're scared  you'll fail Me.
I know why you're scared you'll fail you.
Still I'll love you through ALL you do, 

ALL you say, 
ALL your
life, I promise I'll be true   to you.         --GOD


CHORUS             <summary from above>
Why is it so hard for you to understand,...   BUT still I will NEVER hate you.
I LOVE you despite all you do and say. I LOVE you and yearn for the day.....
you believe.... my Promise:          I LOVE YOU DESPITE.   [signed,  GOD]
