Yo When a man finds a wife he finds himself a real good thing And I I thought I had found that woman that was destined to be my queen I mean I loved her I really loved her More than words could ever show Yet even though I loved her so I I knew I had to let her go I don't think anyone will ever know Or imagine how I feel I've gone from fairy tales to nightmare But it's not a dream it's real And I often find it's hard to deal With the pain I feel deep down inside I've I've had long days wasted on memories And wet pillows from where I've cried Don't Don't Don't get me wrong I have my pride After all I'm a man But my love her was like a weakness no one could ever understand Sometimes I don't understand how days blow by just like the wind I mean Today we have nothing in common Yesterday she was my friend Today we never talk But yesterday we were always together In fact I would have bet my life that we would share our love forever Today I sit in silence Yesterday I'd hug and kiss her And no matter where I go I'm reminded of how much I miss her Well if you loved this girl so much Eric Why did you have to let her go I know you're asking me this question in your mind I'll let you know You see when I was with this girl I used to love her to the state That while I didn't want to admit it She was filling up God's place Of importance in my life I thought of her more than the Lord I preferred to spending time with her than in prayer or in the Word And while she had established number one status in my world I constantly heard this voice telling me to End Things With Girl Nevertheless I still stayed with her because by then we became one Our spirits Our souls Our bodies joined together And for her my soul was one I soon lost all conviction to remain pleasing in God's sight I also lost a sense of direction that He had once place in my life And when I lost that direction I lost the passion I lost that fire I compromised His purpose and adopted her dreams as my desires One day One day a voice came back to me and said Return back to the Father But I thought to myself Are you serious Why even bother I mean to end things with this girl seemed to me so very wrong I thought that we could conquer anything our love was just that strong But it turns out I was wrong What once was strong quickly got weak See we stopped seeing eye to eye And then it got real hard to speak Without arguing over something We were soon in this land of danger This beautiful sophisticated woman I once knew well Was rapidly becoming a stranger One day when I was trying to figure out the whole conclusion The Lord did speak to me and He gave me His clear solution He said Eric why do you forsake the plans I have for you I put a purpose in your life There is much work for you to do It is true I've put the sister in your life but for a reason But that reason's been fulfilled You must move on to the next season She is not who've I've ordained for you to marry You know that well She Is Not Who I've Ordained for You to Marry You Know that Well She Is Not Who I've Ordained for You to Marry You Know that Well You must now become like Abraham And rid yourself of Ishmael And simply wait on Isaac When she comes I'll let you know Don't hesitate another minute Eric You've got to let her go But I didn't want to let her go I love this girl with all my soul But I knew I had to do it because my God did tell me so I knew I had to do it for my good but I had fear I mean Who would give me the love she gave me Who would wipe away my tears Who would tell me that they love me Who would comfort me at night That's when the Holy Spirit spoke and gave my soul so much insight The Holy Spirit spoke while I has praying on my knees He said You can't fully love somebody until you first learn to love me It's not hard to fall in love That's the greatest gift from God But to love them in the fullest type of love is very hard When you don't understand the fullness that is given from above To break it down you can't love woman until you love God Because God is love See people think love is a feeling that just pops into the air It's the level that's supposed to follow after you show you really care Everyone wants to fall in love and feel they need it to be content But God's satisfies your needs and gives you wants that are heaven-sent If you let the Father love you Eric nothing else will matter So Eric I challenge you try Him See how life can be much phatter (He really did say phatter) So I Accept the challenge to try Him And I can testify and say Although sometimes things do get tough I grow strong with God each day And I know he will mature me To be the man I'm called to be So I can do His will completely and fulfill my destiny Now as the Spirit did challenge me I challenge you to do the same Some of y'all are in relationships where there is nothing more to gain Some of y'all have false gods idols that you have placed before the Lord Because you'd rather spend time with her Or him Or her Or that idol Than in prayer or in the Word The Lord's been asking you for more but you've ignored Him when He's called But right now deep in your heart You know you cannot love at all Or at least you can't love fully till God's place first within your heart It's time to rid yourself of Ishmael and begin a brand new start Understand how Jesus wants to love you Love you Love you And develop you to be Everything He's called you to be even the things you cannot see I know it's hard to sacrifice something solid something sure For something you cannot see and then believe it will give you more But Abraham had faith to do it And God's Word was found so true And because of Jesus What God did for Abraham He will surely Surely do it for you
