For Thou alone my heart sings <br />O Lord of Lords, King of Kings; <br />How can I love Thee as I ought~ <br />Thy love I have so long sought. <br /> <br />When I contemplate Thy goodness to me, <br />I am in awe and enveloped in humility <br />That Thou O God from infinity <br />Saw fit to create one like me. <br /> <br />My heart overflows for love of Thee <br />Like swelling waters of the blue-green sea <br />Like the roaring waves splashing ashore; <br />It is Thee O my God whom I adore. <br />Permit that I may love Thee evermore. <br /> <br />When my earthly life comes to an end <br />My sinful wounded soul wilt Thou mend? <br />May I one day behold Thy radiant Face <br />And reap the joy of inestimable grace? <br /> <br />How I pray this will be so, O Lord, <br />As to Thee alone all Praise I accord; <br />To be in Thy company one of these days <br />Hearing choirs resound in Praise <br />To Thy Holiness and Grace <br />In that heavenly Place~ <br />And behold, I gaze <br />upon Thy most <br /> beautiful~ <br />Face. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />© Mel Patterson,12-3-07<br /><br />Carmela Patterson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thy-love-i-have-sought/
