Seized

Hear my thoughts
Feel my emotions
Listen carefully to the tears I cry within

Wrap me in your ardor
Clothe me in your touch
Bathe me in the breath of your soul

Devotion — my passion
Love is my zeal
I am seized by your tenderness

You rascal

You rascal—dirty scoundrel
I thought you’d do better business
But you just can’t match kingdom plan!

You thought you’d steal
Take me for an infidel
The only thing I disbelieve is you!

Listen to me, “I master you”
And hear me loud and clear
Take your lies, your sins—deceit
And formally disappear

Sing me your song of expression

I am captivated by you
You're eyes are my pool of desire – bid me in
I love to recline, each of us in the other's arms
Listen to your sweet whisper of assurance

What is it to gain life?
I wish to loose it for you
Your desire is my craving
Implore me to follow your lead

I love to live as a dancer
Keeping step with my partner
Listening to the shuffling of feet
And the gentlest of hearts beat

You and I are one forever
Sing me your song of expression
Keep my hand in thine – squeeze
Our blood pours as one

Arrows --

Arrows --
I've shot and they've broken
Only the steel head remains
Within your soft and merciful heart

I wish the bow to be broken
The hands of war to be maimed
Truth to be the fingers
Which are to mend the wounded heart

Hither, my beloved

Hither, my beloved
Let me show you a place, reminisced of
Hither, my beloved
Let me lead you to a place, well recalled

A bird balanced on the branches of an olive tree
Take my hand – acquire confidence in me
A fixture in my house – Love
An adornment of my body – Completion

Desire has called out to me
She has gained much attention on my roadway
Signals direct you to a place I called your home
The perfection of a finishing point

Now I summon as day beckons sunlight
Come to my place and lay within my gift
Revel in the rapture of pleasure
Divine sustenance craved for years

The Love of God

When I find myself consumed with care. When I've been asking him to show me how to let him take it. When I don't understand the process of casting. Yet I know he cares for me.

He is concerned with everything that concerns me. He is distracted by the things that cause me stress.

When I am heavy laden with that which should not be a burdento me. When I am downcast with hopelessness and I weigh my future in the balances. I will trust in Christ.

Surely he has brought me to this Kingdom for such a time as this. He will appoint the path and the road he chooses shall be paved with success. He is my hope, my joy and my reward.

He has offered me the prize of his suffering. He has crowned my head with his reward and adorned me with his victory. He has secured my feet on the roadway of higher life.

Oh, how he loves me!

Utter Craving

What's going on? Why have you not come?
Desperation courses through my veins
Deep craving desires are the very beat of my heart
Still in restlessness I await your appearance

Cries, only heard within, beckon you to me
From inside, a feeling of weakness gushes into view
Everyone can see it now
I'm helpless without you

Another day, another week, another month
I stand as my reflection in the mirror
Peering back at myself and the life surrounding
I must be doing something wrong

My very soul is panic-stricken
I fear what I cannot control
And desire what I seemingly cannot have
Yet you promised me that my end would be fulfilling

Oh Lord God, Whom my soul craves
Show me your glory!
