The Four Loves
by Heath McNease

I was born
Inside a home
The youngest of the three
Boys who fought with daddy's stubborn heart

Mama cleaned
Strangers' floors
And God knows that he made it hard
She broke her back to keep her babies warm

And this is
The love that made me grow

I was born
Inside a town
That never understood me
And chased me off through no fault of its own

Fragile minds
They link alike
We batten down the hatches
And faced our common enemies at night

And this is
The love that made me bold

I was lost
Inside myself
The one enchanted April
Leads to 60 more enchanted Mays

I've been gone
Since Bay Tree Road
A confederate to woodman
Whites bridge back to green I love you so

And this is
The love that made me whole

I was found
In nine years old
A cold November morning
That told you that my life was not by own

I was plunged
Beneath the flood
The saints were singing glory
The sins of man are washed beneath the blood

And this is
The love that saved my soul

And this is
The love that saved my soul
