I Love You, My Divine Lover

Beholding my eyes, You can see my heart exposing depth and breadth of love’s essence I gained from Your compassionate presence forever to stay; never will depart. Looking into Your eyes with pure delight my illumined faith expresses love’s bliss You keep on granting that I cannot miss with Your gift of eternal life and light. My Saviour God Who loves me as I am You deserve my love, since You first loved* me esteeming You always is my earnest plea--- while caring for others, Your sheep and lamb. Your love for me, Lord, is sublimely great enabling my devotion that's earnest commitment of gracious and fervent zest surpassing thrill of romantic joy's weight.** *1John 4:19 We love him (GOD), because he first loved us.
