You Can Handle Me

I have yet to know you, or at least know who you are

But that doesn’t worry me, I believe your name is on my heart

See, I believe that God made you, to fit perfectly with me

And so I have no fear that He will bring you exactly when we need

Tonight I asked a question “Jesus, can he love?”

He stopped me though, and answered with “Stop it, you’re enough.”

I am coming to you broken, I am coming to you bruised

I just wanted you to know, in case I ever am confused

If ever I question you, or cannot understand

It’s because my heart can’t comprehend a healthy, loving man

Twisted lies and promises have kept me in a cage

But God has spoken life to me, and given love a brand new name

I know that you’ll take care of me, even when we make mistakes

Neither one of us is perfect, but we’ll keep loving anyway

Tonight I’ll make a promise, to never question your capacity to love

Because I know that I’m forgiven for everything I’ve done

And because of who my God is, and who He’s created us to be

I know my heart can handle you, and you can handle me.
