dear Lord, You chose to love me
there is no escaping Your love
a battle within me, torn my insides apart
heart aching, wanting yet not willing
my soul cries for Your fellowship
my spirit groans for an intimacy
too long have i denied those yearnings
my spirit's longing, my soul's desire
my flesh would not yield, it would not let go
of what it had loved, self and ego
too late to go back, for no longer i belong
once i tasted Your sweet love, there is no turning back
where can i go from Your Spirit?
where can i flee from Your presence?
finally surrendering i come
not by might, not by strength, but by Your Spirit o Lord
draw me near for i want to love You
to be in the embrace of Your presence once again
to feel the joy of meeting You face to face
to drown in Your love, to lose myself in You
so here i am, take it all
i am learning to let go
so that i can love You
with all of my heart
with all of my soul
with all of my mind
