My Lover

My Lover



Imprisoned by yesterday

I slumbered in silence

Clinging to the pieces

Of time conquered by the past


Tracing down the tears

Stained on tainted skin

Could not capture my face

Through the cracks in the glass


All that I see now

Is an image of death

All that I know

Is this frail, shallow breath


All I have now

Is this carnage that's left

Who shall ignite me,

To warm this place of death?


Numbed to the coldness

Lips bitten cold and blue

Quivering, benumbed

Could not perceive any better


Lured to endless darkness

My name be claimed forever

But then You caught my hand

Sweetly pieced me back together


Now all of my dreams

Are held captive to You

All my desires

To glorify You


All that I am

I surrender to You

Blessed are You, Lord

Your love made me new


Blessed are You, Lord

I'm so amazed at You


Cradled safely, I rest

In Your tender hands

Caught in such bliss

How You sweep me away


O, that I should profit

From Your crimson flow

To come before the throne

That I might boldly pray


Allow me to inhale

Your fragrance so pleasant

Savour the sweetness

Of the wine of Your love


Overwhelm me, Lord

With Your presence alluring

Seize me, my Treasure!

My Love of all loves


Light as a feather

I dance on the clouds

Driven by hunger

To take more of You in me


Joy spilling over

From the depths of my soul

Victim to desire

To drink in Your ecstacy


I belong to only You

Jesus, etched on my heart

Beautiful Redeemer

I will cling to You


Follow hard after You

Persue You all my days

For I will forever live

Reborn by Grace and Truth


In the night, I will whisper Your name

Jesus...

My Heart's One Desire


In the light, I will loudly proclaim

Jesus...

My Passion, my Fire
