Riding His Shoulders

I rode on your shoulders all day long
We'd laugh and run, play as though nothing was wrong.
High above the world, I rode
Long powerful strides I strode
Nothing else mattered, no one else, only you
For with you there was only room for two
Then my world was shattered, the day I fell.
I landed hard and called out loud
How recently I'd been so proud
I saw you bend, pick up another, you walked away
not looking back, nothing to say.
I watched my heart break that day.
I once felt so strong, tall and brave
and then I entered a cold dark cave.
Now weak, fearful and oh so small,
I hear myself think "It was my fault"
I watch you disappear in the distance,
Never again, you were my last chance.
"Lady" I hear, "Might I have this dance?"
Raising my head, so ashamed, I see a hand outstretched to me.
"I'm sorry sir, I'm broken, you see? I can't make anyone happy"
The man shook his head sadly
"You don't need to, I'm not looking for anything from you,
let me take you and make you new"
I cant trust "No, You'll fix me to let me fall again!"
"I'm not that way," I hear Him say.
"I'll be your husband, I'm here to stay.
I'm not looking for you to give me pleasure, I would rather give than get.
So rest now, do not fret,
and I will help you trust again."
I reached up and in that moment I chose
I took His hand and again I arose.
