I Prayed

I prayed for a man who is perfect
And I thought the Lord exulted
I prayed for a man who is righteous
And I thought the sentiments worthwhile

But after years of waiting
With patience worn to threads
I turned unto my Father
And listened carefully

There is not a man who is perfect
There is not a man who is righteous
But when you find a man
with whose imperfection you can endure
Know that what you have found is love
