Enthralled By Love Divine
Enthralled with heavenly love
I’m nestling in the Almighty's divine amorousness
Satiating my heart’s hunger for genuine peace
From oppressive sin-inflicting guilt
Quenching my soul’s thirst for freedom's contentment
Against affliction-pangs of bitterness and greed
While calming the vehemence of my mind attacked by doubts.
Assured by God to delight in His perpetual love
He vividly expressed in the Scriptures
And unceasingly reverberated by Jeremiah 31:3
“The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying,
Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love:
therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee;”
I seek Him worshipfully in His solace
Midst disquietude of carnality, threatening my spirit
So I can invite others to bask with no hesitation
In the effervescence of His compassion.
Thus, brewing in the fervidness of the Lord’s charity,
I yield myself to His reviving grace
Blessed to serve Him with reverence.
As His faithful steward sealed with His loving kindness
May I testify that I love God* with all my heart;
And I’m striving to love others as myself… all by His gracious love.
*Luke 10:27 “…Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.”
