Neither Death Nor Life

Through broken dreams
and untold pain,
I pursued you.
Through lost loves
and losses and gains,
I pursued you.
Through darkest nights,
and brightest days,
I pursued you.
Through thorny paths,
down many ways,
I pursued you.
There is no shelter
that can keep you from my love.
Near you I am,
though I seem far above.
I've given all
though far from me you drift.
But all I'd give again
to bestow this great gift.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Romans 8:38-39
