My Soul Mate
by Teresa Altman Sweet laughter and devotion, I have shared with none. This restless heart so tired, of being all alone. I've tried the life of Paul, but it gave not enough. My heart is overflowing with aching, needful love. Lord, bring me a companion, but not just any man; He must be one of valor, or leave me as I am. Make him strong as Moses, a leader in Your truth; And I will stand beside him, that I may be his Ruth. Someone to correct me, in things I need to know; Reproving me, thus gently, in order that I grow. Bring me one like Jonathan, loyal to the end; And I will love forever, this man that is my friend. Even in the hard times, he will choose to stay; And we will seek for healing, together, as we pray. A Boaz to protect me, in safety He will lead; That I may rest completely, in all that my heart needs. Someone true like Joseph, my words he will believe; His faithfulness long-lasting, when others would deceive. And don't forget Dear John, his loving heart's embrace; With eyes that will behold me, in honor, truth, and grace. But mostly find the heart, of Jesus that forgives; Then, with the man you bring me, forever I will live.
