IS IT HEART OR PERHAPS SOUL
 
I seem to have a problem Lord
Something I cannot figure out
Fighting feelings of love
With overwhelming doubt

When one falls in love
Or thinks they have at least
Would it be just the heart involved
Or is it soul as well - at peace

My head is spinning with the doubts
All the answers I don't seem to know
You'd think I would at my age now
But somehow that's just not so

Am I afraid to give my heart again
I'm thinking yes I really am
For I was hurt and left for lost
I'm wondering if I truly can

When I think there is no doubt
It's then that doubt creeps in
Is this man a lover to me
Or perhaps meant as a dear friend

Surely my heart should know
Yet I feel like a child again
Questions just consume me
Do I dare to even want to begin

Begin another life giving my all
Or is it best to keep back some for me
That is somewhat of an answer
For what is love if not given completely

Why should I need to hold back some
Perhaps I am afraid this man I know
Cannot give me all he has of his
For perhaps he gave it all long ago

My heart begins to question who I am
And why I even need another love
I have the best within my heart and soul
It would be the Holy Spirit, I am speaking of

Always there for me, just as You and Jesus are
And with that kind of love why then
Should I even take a chance or think of it
I'm so afraid to go where I have been

Perhaps that is part of my answer God
You blessed me by setting me free
To listen to what You already know about
For You have given me all - the answer lies in me
