From the depths of my soul, I beseech thee, O Lord.
Cleanse me continually, my heart cries out to You.
Draw me nearer, hold me gently, strengthen me.
As the sun rises daily, shine upon me.
As the dew covers the morning ground, nourish me.
My body cannot contain the purity of Your Love.
However, my soul receives it, completely.
The greatness of Your Love cannot be captured in
our worldly minds, yet we seek to understand it.
Just a portion of Your Love is able to cover the entire
earth and universe, can we even dare to comprehend its' fullness?
Where there is patience and kindness, there You are amongst us.
Where there is compassion and wisdom, you are known.
Where there is beauty, joy, power, forgiveness, hope and purity, You are.
Happy are those who are born twice to die once and live forever with You.
Have mercy, I plea, for those who are born once to die twice and be parted from
You and Your Love.
As the gentle, calming waves at the waters' edge, so you beckoned my soul
many years ago.
With all of my being and spirit, I will be with You forever.
