SECONDHAND LOVE

1. Late have I loved You,
Ever-Ancient and Ever-New
You have always been with me,
but I’ve not always been with You
Oh, I have often settled
for what others have experienced
but I’m hungry and thirsty for You
and I yearn for Your presence
CHORUS:
and I won’t settle for just what
I have read about You
and I won’t longer settle for what
others have said about You
You are my Beloved and I am Your Beloved
and I’ll no longer settle for a secondhand love

2. Themes and schemes and empty pleasures
Restless longings, ego treasures,
So many things that I have clung to
and I have made each one an idol.
I stutter and I stammer
for You’re beyond and so much bigger
You are much more wonderful
than any secondhand love (Chorus)

3. I long for nothing, I hope for nothing
I desire nothing but to be ever more like Jesus
And to be present to each moment
As you wrap Your heart around me
Then I won’t be pursuing any secondhand loves.

Final Chorus:
And I’ll no longer settle for just what
I have read about You
And I won’t settle for what others have said about You
You are my Beloved and I am Your Beloved
And I won’t settle for any secondhand love,
No, I won’t settle for any secondhand love.
