You stir my soul awake at break of day,
You raise my heart to heaven every morning,
My senses come alive as You hold sway.
I gaze at You in silent adoration,
My heart is set ablaze as gaze meets gaze,
Come Beloved, make Your tabernacle,
In my soul where I will sing your praise.
I muse about You in the sunlit hours,
I call to mind Your Name at night and pray,
I close my eyes and all the while I whisper,
Grateful thanks to You at close of day.
You alone can satisfy my longings,
No other love with Yours can be replaced,
I know, because I’ve wandered in dark places,
Counterfeit all love when it’s misplaced.
Call my name when day is done Beloved,
It matters not when that dear hour may be,
I am awake my Lord and I am ready,
To be espoused with You eternally.

Very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteA successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.. Ur constant poetry writing is testimony to this :) Another great one!
ReplyDeleteVery good as usual- however, the last verse (don’t change it) looks as though you are quite happy to leave this world and go. Do remember you have a lot to live for!!! So next time write something about doing something practical for the good Lord – here and now!!!

Yet another poetically beautiful expression of your "God Alone" spirituality!
