Love’s Transforming Gaze

An attempt with words that in no way do justice to the reality of the experience.

Want that I could find, just words to describe,
Love felt at Your Touch, heart’s vision of Eyes
Known fully to be, and quite wholly Other,
Yet voice and vestige seeming all familiar

Infinite Love of perfect heart
Caresses deeper than all can know
Pain of sin’s temporal anguish
Entwined as one within pith’s flow

Humble face (I see it still)
Love and pain remit their gaze
Will you trust, is all I’m asked
No promise made or fears allayed

Reveals of Spirit doth soul awake
No deeds suffice a Love so grand
Bequeaths an answer of me to make
Life’s choice this night was in your plan

Nail scarred hand, who can reject,
When offered with such gentle care
I’ve walked with Thee from then till now
My life transformed– beyond compare!

Wow – this definitely has an inspired feel to it – and it seems to me you must of had a very transcendental experience. I actually quite envy it. Awesome piece.

Mmmm, this is awesome. The first stanza was a little bumpy, but after reading the rest it clicked into place. Beautiful work.
