come let me love you, come love me again

i had the strangest song stuck in my head all day today. i don't know if i heard it playing in a store somewhere or if it just popped in there randomly. it's a song by john denver, and i'm not usually one to listen to his stuff (not that i'm opposed to it, it's just usually not the genre i prefer..) i got home tonight with the song still in my head, i didn't know all the words to the song, just the first couple lines, and it felt like maybe i could turn it into a song to the Lord.
i decided to look up the rest of the words (you've got to love google..) and realized that it was really the Lord singing it over me. and i felt all gushy, it felt like tears were about to well up. i've been feeling pretty bad lately, in regards to my relationship with the Lord. i've been neglecting Him, and i've been angry, and have taken most of my disappointments and heartaches out on Him. i realize this is not really the best thing to do, not because He'll decide to hit the "smite" button or anything, but because i'm missing out on Him. revelation about His love, goodness and faithfulness... and the One person that's always going to have my back can't comfort me nearly as much if i'm refusing to talk to Him.
so i guess what i'm getting to is this, He loves me. even when i'm angry, even when i'm disappointed, even when i don't trust Him like i should, even though i didn't know Him for majority of my life.. He's known me and loved me since before the foundations of the earth, and even when i'm being a brat, He's still singing love songs over me.

so here's the lyrics, maybe you'll start to feel all gushy too. :]

You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again

Let me give my life to you
Come let me love you
Come love me again

You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
