To the One who Moves me

I wish to gaze at Your face unobstructed,

not through the interference of things humans have made.      

To be whole I need a direct connection to You. 

                           I must consecrate my entire life to You,                           

and worship at the alter of Your perfect creation. 

I wish to be surrounded by You entirely, 

so that nothing and no one distracts me from Your Eternal Truth. 

I need to melt into Your embrace, 

where the false illusions of separation fall away, 

and my spirit can be at peace. 

Without Your love I am nothing. Without Your breath I expire.

My heart is flat when Your songs I cannot hear. 

No life. No joy. 

You are everything to me, and my greatest honor is in serving You.

May I exist close to You, in Your very center.

By myself I am nothing.

But in You I am All.
