paper hearts to mark each day

A paper heart to mark each day
And for the words I now can't say
A sign of my appreciation
A little drop in a big wide ocean

I'm putting my love in an airtight container
Will bury it somewhere I cannot remember
Then I will take and throw away the key
Let the Lord will as He decrees

I will hide it somewhere deep underground
Let the Lord decide when it should be found
But if His plan is to keep us apart
Then let it be so in both our hearts

But the Lord has yet to close the door
This time I’ll wait for what He has in store
I will take it at His pace and not mine
The Lord is faithful, and He will show His time

"Look up my son, and see again
The cross that My blood once stained
I'm still waiting for My bride to be
So be patient and wait with Me

My plan for you will unfold in time
Bend your will and make it Mine
The pain you feel is to restore your purity
And to bring your love to full maturity

You do not know what I have in store
A plan so great, you'll want nothing more
But it’s a plan you may not yet see
So just be patient and wait with Me"

Thank you Lord for your words of assurance
Only You know what's beneath our outward appearance
Help me to learn to wait with Thee
And to look beyond my Calvary

So thank you for the love that you showed
A love that only God could have bestowed
I now know how much more the Lord loves me
You opened my eyes, so that I may see

And if the Lord above allows
We'll one day make a sacred vow
God’s given Wisdom will take away the past
This time I promise that it will last

But if the Lord decides to close the door
Then I will wait for His something more
No matter what happens I will walk His way
With paper hearts to mark each day
