In Your Love
In Your Love
In your love, O Lord, I submit my wholeness.
Into your loving arms, calm and peace I rest.
Though earthly life is a dark abyss,
In your love, my soul is brightened with your fullness.
In your love, O Lord, I find my direction.
The cross I carry, packed with passion.
Emerging from my heart a primrose path,
Upon which I laid my life for consecration.
In your love, O Lord, my whole world enlightened,
My hope matured, and my faith strengthened,
My heart was charged with forgiveness and compassion,
My destination gazing toward your light, as a lowly servant.
In your love, O Lord, all things are possible, amazingly.
I could gather all kindness and humility,
Care and generosity, love and mercy,
And all, I seed into my deeds for others, wholeheartedly.
In your love, O Lord, I could reach the sky and mountains,
Catch floating clouds and pick all the stars,
And all the flowers and their fragrances I contain,
In your love, I lay all down around your altar.
In your love, O Lord, I span my whole life.
Hand in hand, in your grace, I walk with you,
Though you are invisible and heavenly far above, yet nearby my side,
In your love, I embrace your great Spirit truth.
In your love, O Lord, my lowly life rests on your chest,
And in me and through me, Holy water flowing.
You are my Rock upon which my spiritual desires blooming,
In your love, I'm lying prostrate, obediently and serving.
