Oh, how have labored
Labored so endlessly
through all the days
and all the nights
seeking my hope
to express this fire
that burns so deeply within my soul.
Oh, it is a fire within my bones
that will never die.
Oh, this longing for you
is to deep for all my world
To express a love
that in this heart
lives beyond time.
Oh, how I live and breath for you
and how my heart aches for you
I cannot find the words.
Oh, I know that God
when he searched his heart
from all the love he found
he made you.
Oh, and now this longing for you
burns within my should.
For when I first saw you
my I was forever lost
and now I must live
in these flames
of this infinite longing I have for you.
Oh, I know that you understand
all the things
that swim at the bottom of the sea
and all the mysteries
of the distant heavens.
Oh, and all of space
and all of time
is no mystery to you.
Oh, your beauty is more
than any living man can stand.
Oh, you have captured me
and I my heart is forever held
as though within iron bars.
Oh, I shall ever be bound to you
by this deep longing
that lives in my heart.
