Known By You

WOMAN: Sometimes I feel frightened, like the wolf is at our door.
And maybe I’m afraid that you want more.
Please, whatever I might tell you, just hear it tenderly.
Help me trust that you love the me who’s me.

MAN: Sometimes you feel frightened. That darn wolf’s is at our door.
And sometimes you’re afraid that I want more.
Whatever you are feeling, I will hear it as your truth
‘cause I long to show I love the you who’s you.

W: Even in sadness?
M: In sadness.
W: Even in pain?
M: Through your pain.
W: Even when I’m feeling overjoyed again?
M: Even then.
There is nothing you can tell me
that my heart’s too small to hear.
I’m here to know you best.
W: I’m clearly blessed to be known by you.

MAN: If I feel lost in darkness, and my dreams seem far away.
When the words I want to speak are hard to say.
Whatever I might tell you, just hear it tenderly.
Help me trust that you love the me who’s me.

WOMAN: If you feel lost in darkness and your dreams seem far away.
When the words you want to speak are hard to say.
Whatever you are feeling, I will hear it as your truth
‘cause I long to show I love the you who’s you.

M: Even in weakness?
W: in weakness.
M: Even in shame?
W: Just the same.
M: Even when I only have myself to blame?
W: That’s my aim.
There is nothing you can tell me
that my heart’s too small to hear.
I’m here to know you best.
M: I’m clearly blessed to be known by you.

BOTH: Used to be I’d be with someone, and somehow be alone,
Never knowing if (s)he saw me, never feeling quite at home.
But with you I drop defenses. All my senses say I’m safe,

M: I’m free,
W: I’m known.
M: I’m here to know you best.
W: I’m here to know you best.
BOTH: I’m clearly blessed to be known by you.
I’m clearly blessed to be known by you.
