[Verse 1] Why do I see heaven In every human eye, my lord? Why do I reach for mercy Like a hand at an open door? I am a sinner Still I kneel and call your name My chest is full of thunder And I do not want the shame [Pre-Chorus] I want to love out loud With my whole broken heart If I fall, pick me up Don't leave me in the dark [Chorus] I want to love, my lord I want to love, my lord Let my hands stay clean And my heart stay warm I want to love, my lord I want to love, my lord And be held at the end Like I was before [Verse 2] I want a man with tired hands Who still knows how to stay Who sees my scars and stays awake When the room turns gray I want his laugh on my collarbone His tears in the rain A life that leans toward kindness Not a life that's made of chains [Pre-Chorus] I want to give myself Without fear, without hiding If love is a fire Then let it keep me shining [Chorus] I want to love, my lord I want to love, my lord Let my hands stay clean And my heart stay warm I want to love, my lord I want to love, my lord And be held at the end Like I was before [Bridge] If I am too much, teach me How to soften, how to trust If I am unworthy, touch me Till the dust turns into dust I don't need perfect I just need true A man who loves me through it And the courage to love you [Final Chorus] I want to love, my lord I want to love, my lord Let my hands stay clean And my heart stay warm I want to love, my lord I want to love, my lord And be held at the end Like I was before I want to love, my lord (yes I do) I want to love, my lord (amen)
