Love Is Wide - Carrie Newcomer

I love you for all your worn places

For what’s smooth, ragged and raw

For all you’ve been and all that you are

I love it all

I know it’s hard, I know it’s scary

I’m not saying you don’t have the right

Come on baby it’s not what you’re thinking

You’ve got nothing you need to hide

I’m still here and I’m not leaving

Life is deep and love is wide

For every lie somebody told you

For every dream you’ve drug this far

For every time someone else held you

I love you as you are

I know it’s hard, I know it’s scary

I’m not saying you don’t have the right

Come on baby it’s not what you’re thinking

You’ve got nothing you need to hide

I’m still here and I’m not leaving

Life is deep and love is wide

I know there are some

And there’s some that you’ve got to be careful

But I’ll never leave you or ever forsake you

Wherever this takes you and I

For every loss you counted like sparrows

For every badge you’ve had to earn

For every time you lay down with sorrow

I love you for what you’ve learned

I know it’s hard I know it’s scary

I’m not saying you don’t have the right

Come on baby it’s not what you’re thinking

You’ve got nothing you need to hide

I’m still here and I’m not leaving

Life is deep and love is wide
