Sometimes, Lord,
it boggles my mind and amazes my soul:
that you want me to know you,
that you can be known,
that you want to be part of my life
that you want me to share in yours...
I'd be no more than the small, mortal being I am
were it not for
your curious, eternal interest in my existence,
your holy presence in my heart,
your Spirit moving in my thoughts,
your loving eye upon all I do,
your gentle hand upon my shoulder
and your passion, your desire, for our union...
I'm humbled when I ponder
that you know me - and call me by my name...
My imagination faints before your beauty,
disclosed and revealed for me to see...
It blows my mind that I can know
the One who is all knowing... My heart's too small, it can't contain
the fullness of the peace your mercy offers...I shiver in my flesh before your body,
hung upon the Cross, in love, for me...
I've done nothing, Lord, to merit
this love I don't deserve:
it's all pure grace, your gift,
and so I give you thanks and praise...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep rest in your peace...
Amen.

I have loved you with an everlasting love,
I have called you and you are mine;
I have loved you with an everlasting love,
I have called you and you are mine.
Seek the face of the Lord and long for him:
He will bring you his light and his peace.
Seek the face of the Lord and long for him:
He will bring you his joy and his hope.
