made to love

"Made to Love" 

Toby Mac

I first heard this song on my sister's computer while studying abroad in Mauritius (rhymes w/delicious).  I cannot tell you how many times I played and replayed it!  I loved the melody and how true the words of the chorus are.  I will forever associate with song with my time overseas.  During my time there, I was able to help lead a Mauritian High School Youth Group of about 12-15 individuals.  I LOVED THIS!  It was such a special group.  After school and my internship ended and I moved back home, I got to meet up with them a few weeks later in France to sight-see and then headed to Germany to attend a world-wide christian youth conference.  Oh boy did we have some good times! 

The dream is fading, now I'm staring at the door

I know its over cause my feet have hit the cold floor

Check my reflection, I ain't feelin what I see

It's no mystery

Whatever happened to a passion I could live for

What became of the flame that made me feel more

And when did I forget that...

I was made to love you

I was made to find you

I was made just for you

Made to adore you

I was made to love

And be loved by you

You were here before me

You were waiting on me

And you said you'd keep me

Never would you leave me I was made to love

and be loved by you

The dream's alive with my eyes opened wide

Back in the ring you've got me swinging for the grand prize

I feel the haters spittin vapors on my dreams

But I still believe

I'm reachin out, reachin up, reachin over

I feel a breeze cover me called Jehovah

And daddy I'm on my way

Cause I was made to love...

Never would you leave me I was made to love

and be loved by you

Anything I would give up for you

Everything, I'd give it all away

We landed!  Hello warm weather! :)
