My Beloved, Eternally

O Jesus Lord

Thou fairest of the fair—

None in heav’n nor on the earth can e’er compare.

Better than wine is Thy sweet love to me

How could I still seek what’s less than Thee?

All the earthly pleasures could not fill my soul

Failed to satisfy the longing to be whole.

These all shall pass

Wither

and fade

and flee

But

You’re mine

Eternally.

Lord

deep within

I’ve still so many things

Hidden in the chambers of my inner being

I hear Thy call—Thy voice

Thy knock—a song.

Lord

come in; hast Thou been kept too long?

Search my heart! There’s nothing I desire to keep.

All is Thine! Do then what Thou

Thy heart

doth please.

But in return

For what Thou take from me

Fill me Lord

Eternally.

Draw me

Beloved into Thy presence dear

I would kiss Thy feet and wash them with my tears.

My love I pour

my life I waste on Thee;

Seize this precious opportunity!

I gave all

and yet the gain was so much more:

Thine own person in exchange for love outpoured.

’Tis ne’er a loss

To lose myself to Thee

My Beloved

Eternally.
