Unfaithful

Contrary to how it may sound, this song isn't about a relationship with a man. It's about my relationship with God. If I remember correctly, I wrote it after reading Ted Dekker's "When Heaven Weeps," about a woman who is pursued even though she is unfaithful time and time again. That's often how my relationship with God is. I don't put Him as a priority. I value human affections and relationships over Him. So many times I get caught up in busyness, even good "Christian" busyness, and don't spend time with Him. So often I run to other lovers, whether they be success, popularity, love, selfishness, or anything else that I run to that's not Him and is not for His glory and because of His love. Yet He still loves and forgives me and loves and forgives me and loves and forgives me!!! He is good and He is love!

Verse 1
With my past, with my life
I don't know why
You'd ever want to be mine

Verse 2
But you won't be refused
You pursued me
I don't know why you'd ever choose me

Verse 3
I feel so unworthy (lowly)
I can't escape
From my past, reaching to claim me

Pre-chorus
And you'd never lose my heart
Because it's safe in your hands
But time and time again...

Chorus
Whenever you seem to fall asleep,
Whenever you don't quickly answer me,
I convince myself you've rejected me,
As I run into someone else's arms.
I know I've broken your heart

Chorus continued or Bridge
Yet you always forgive me,
And you never leave me
Because you said my heart would be safe in your hands.
And so you forgave me
Time and time again.

End/Outro
I'm so unfaithful,
But you, you're so wonderful.
Why you love me is so incomprehensible.
So I'll try to
Be faithful because I love you.
