His Design (Country Version)

We're all worthy of love, every one, we just haven't had the right kind come along. Not the deep kind, not the kind that's true, the kind that sees you and loves you through. Some stayed in body, but not in heart, they were there, but we were apart. They loved themselves, never reached out — we deserved more, there isn't a doubt. Our hearts have ached in love before, but God throws a wrench in, to bring us back for more. And when we're old and need it most, that's when we miss it — the lonely ghost. So many lonely souls, it's sad but true — when they go, it's easier, there's nothing holding you. Not much here to make us want to stay, sometimes love grows cold and fades away. I think God made us 'cause He was alone, that's why He loves us, He wants us home. He wanted hearts that would choose Him still, not out of force, but of our own will. We were never kept, we've always been free, nothing ever held us back from what we'd be. No tangled roots, no crowd to please, nothing between our hearts and His. Jesus said be not of this world, you see — I think He made us apart, so apart we'd be. The world calls it lonely, they don't understand — I would call it His design, His gentle hand.
