Cry of the Wounded Hunter

    The mark of a Christian is observable love.
     – Francis Schaeffer

love is something I got to be able to see;
talking about it don’t do too much for me
    cause most of what I see people do
    don’t match up with their words.

love is something I got to be able to feel;
someone I can touch – something I know is real
    but people keep their distance these days;
    they don’t get too close.

love is something I got to be able to share
cause livin’ life alone just leads to doubt and despair,
    and sometimes I’ve been so alone …
    so empty inside.

people who need love – sometimes we wear a disguise
so that when we’re in a crowd no-one will recognize
    how desperately our hearts hunger for
    a love we don’t deserve.

just as I am with only one plea …
a love I can see.
