maybe when I feel sufficient, I'm really broken
maybe every time I come to you, I must come with nothing
maybe you're nearer than I would ever know
and more real than life itself could ever reveal
maybe all I am has nothing to do with me at all,
but everything to do with what you are doing.
maybe your heart weeps more tears
than all the oceans in this earth; the drops from your eyes
saturating the dry ground faster than the flood.
maybe if I really knew you, my tears would flow more freely

maybe I only know a mystery; a legend of who you are
and I have only grazed the skin of your heart with my
feeble prayers and offerings of praise.
maybe I am unaware of you standing over me right now,
alive and well, waiting for a glimpse of my eyes...
waiting for the chance that our visions would cross...
and become one.

maybe I'm scared to truly look
because one look into your eyes means
knowing you. And knowing you means
understanding you. And understanding you means
loving you. And loving you means following you...
to whatever end...

maybe you're more dangerous than I've given you credit for
maybe losing myself is truly the only way to find life
and the only way to live is to die
maybe this world does have everything backwards and upside down
and this kingdom, as offensive and frightening as it may be,
holds the keys to truth. maybe this kingdom is nearer than I ever thought
and he's been waiting for me to trust him and lay everything on the line
maybe this kingdom could touch earth right now! maybe if I would go
you'd be with me. maybe I need you more than I ever dreamed
maybe your grace is the only thing that sustains me.
maybe your friendship is the only worth I have.
maybe your intimacy is a treasure more precious
than all I hold dear. maybe you go to greater
lengths than time has to tell to get my attention

...maybe I'm falling in love with you all over again
