In Love With You, Lord
Being in love with You is my heart’s quest
to abide ceaselessly in Your presence
as You nurture me in Your caring breast
midst divine bliss of peace-iridescence.
In my relationship with You, trust reigns
sealed by Your covenant for faith’s fervor
indeed forgiven, and freed from guilt-strains
I now delight in Your gracious favor.
Kept secured in Your love’s sweet enclosure
enriched by Your partnership’s fulfillment
here am I, Your grateful precious treasure
abounding to share blessings’ endowment.
I do love You because You first loved* me
My LORD, make me what You want me to be.
*1John 4:19 We love him (LORD GOD), because he first loved us.
