prayers
You fascinate my heart,
My God,
My being held in awe by all
You are,
Held in awe by god-love
So intense
And yet so tender,
Love
Embracing all my being without bruising,
Love that captivates my soul,
That captures what I am
And what I still can be
And holds it all within those godly arms
That love without control
And raise me up to see
The god-in-me
That's mirrored in your face,
To know at last the wonder of your gaze
And read within the deep wells of your eyes
The utter fascination of your
Love
For me..
