feast of love

this has been clanging around in my head for some time . . . it's finally making it on here.

i don't know what to do to ease your mind
i don't have the perfect word to make it fine
i'm not so qualified for sympathy
still i am not without love

psalm number four falls on your grieving ear
yes, i believe the peace of Christ is near
and i am here in His Name
you'd do the same, you'd do the same...

if you'll let me close
closer than a brother
if you'll let me love you
we'll sit here and cry
