Picking Daisies
Lyrics
**Verse 1**
When the morning breaks in beauty,
And the road is smooth and clear,
I can almost feel You smiling,
I can almost sense You near.
But when clouds conceal the sunlight,
And the plans I made are lost,
I begin to count the petals,
Trying to measure what it cost.
**Pre-Chorus**
I have let the changing weather
Tell me what Your heart is not;
Whispering with every petal,
“He loves me—He loves me not.”
**Chorus**
I’ve been picking daisies from the days that I have got,
Saying, “He loves me,” then fearing, “He loves me not.”
When the road is bright and easy, I believe that I am known,
But when sorrow comes to find me, I feel forgotten and alone.
Yet Your love was never measured by the answers that I sought;
You loved me in the blessing, You loved me in the loss.
Through every changing season, through every battle fought,
Your heart has never left me—
There never was a “loves me not.”
**Verse 2**
There were prayers I laid before You,
Good and honest, brave and small;
And I waited for an answer,
But I heard no voice at all.
It seemed You watched me breaking
With an unresponsive heart;
And I wondered how You loved me
While You let me fall apart.
**Pre-Chorus**
But what feels like Your indifference
May not show me what is true;
I can see my pain and sorrow—
I cannot see all that You do.
**Chorus**
I’ve been picking daisies from the days that I have got,
Saying, “He loves me,” then fearing, “He loves me not.”
When the road is bright and easy, I believe that I am known,
But when sorrow comes to find me, I feel forgotten and alone.
Yet Your love was never measured by the answers that I sought;
You loved me in the blessing, You loved me in the loss.
Through every changing season, through every battle fought,
Your heart has never left me—
There never was a “loves me not.”
**Bridge**
Pain can tell me I am hurting;
It cannot tell me I’m unloved.
Silence cannot prove You’ve left me,
Nor the darkness hide Your blood.
You may not remove the winter,
But You meet me in the cold;
And suffering does not own my heart—
Your joy can still take hold.
Love can live beside the sorrow.
Hope can breathe beneath the ache.
Even when my hands are empty,
Your affection does not change.
**Final Chorus**
I am done with picking daisies from the days that I have got,
No more, “He loves me,” then fearing, “He loves me not.”
When the road is bright and easy, I will thank You for the sun;
When the night is long and heavy, I will trust the faithful One.
For Your love is not determined by the answers that I sought;
You love me in the blessing, You love me in the loss.
Through every changing season, through every battle fought,
Your heart will never leave me—
There never was a “loves me not.”
**Outro**
No petal holds the answer.
No circumstance can say
Whether I am still Your child
On any given day.
Your love was settled long before
I knew the road I’d walk.
Your heart has always held me—
There never was a “loves me not.”
