Thoughts Upon My Bed

The yearning of my soul became the thoughts upon my bed; The desire of my heart began to dance within my head, As I was opened up by God; He took out my flesh and bone, And when He closed me up again, for my inwards I did groan. The one that I envisioned, He then began to make From my dream and yearning with my inwards He did take In the still of the night; For my groanings I got peace When the morning light beckoned sweet sleep to cease. I saw my heart's desire and the one I hoped to wed Hand in hand with God, but not a word from me was said, Until He brought her by my side, and He brought back to mind The thoughts upon my bed; then I opened up to find That she is now the one for me, a crown of glory for my life; God will give to me His favor as I take her as my wife. She shall be my only woman, much more than my helpmeet, And I shall cleave to her alone and once again be made complete.
