Story Behind the Song
More specifically, a re-evaluation of the themes in "I Don't Know How To Love Him."
Lyrics
No one knows just where You came from
No one knows just why
A dozen others, no one ever
comes as close as I
Here in me You find Your comfort
My hand soothes Your head
Still I long for something more than
what I chose instead
So You see, I can't be
All the good You see in me
Magnified in Your eyes
You would take me up on high, I
comprehend, soon we'll end
Until then I'm left to face this
mortal fear of the fire
if You learned of my desire
My fear of death can't hide
My affection ever true
My desire is to sin
But to sin for only You, You are
the essence of my life
You're the anchor of my soul
At the slightest of commands
I have given up control
Of how I lived my life
Day to day how I discerned
Now Your word is my guide
All I ask for in return
Is a chance, just one night
You don't have to be so strong
Bring You down, I just might
Show You where You might be wrong
In my dreams, so it seems
is the only place You'll be
as I want, but these thoughts
Are they from the enemy?
If it's true, that You're through
and we were not meant to start
I'd still have to repent
that I've done it in my heart
Rising up in my lungs
is a cry to be absolved
Let me go, tell me now
while Your heart still beats at all
In the end, soon to come
after all has been observed
will I die for my lust
like they'll kill You for Your words?
