Oh, your love is a light that shines
into the dark places of my heart
and frees me from eternal night.
Oh, how I find my rest
in the soft and sweet *****
and your loving heart
that beats only for me.
Oh, how I feel as though I were a lost child
who has at last found her mother
after long agesΒ Β have past.
Oh, my soul lives
in a deep burning desire
to be forever yours
and you forever mine.
Oh, I know
that this heart that beats within me
only beats in its desire
to make you ever mine.
Oh, my love for you is a fire
that consumes me
both body and soul
and I am left without words
and a deep aching pain
that only you
in your mercy can quench.
Oh, my love and longing for you
shall last as ages roll
and the sun forever spins
upon the wheel of time
and all my dreams
are of you
as I lay upon my bed
in silent slumber.
Oh, all the night and all the day long
thoughts of you swim within my heart
like fishes that forever swim
in a deep blue sea
and I am taken by force
by your intoxicating form
and every power in heaven
and every power on earth
or that dark formless world below
can never pluck you from my heart.
Oh, though the wheel of time
may ever spin in its eternal way
and countless ages pass
you shall ever be one with my soul.
