I am at a loss for words.
I am at a loss for words.
Give me a love song, for surely You are the greatest Lover.
Inspire my tongue to recite Thy beauty.
Enliven my spirit to dance with Yours.
Pour the embers of your love upon the altar of my heart, let me burn for You as hotly as You burn for me.
My eyes grow faint from looking and searching, dear One, and my voice is taken from me at the love songs that I’ve tried to sing for You.
This love, yes, our love is wearisome to my spirit.
But Jesus, whom have I in heaven but You?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides You.
Where else would I go, what other Lover would entrance so engrossingly?
beautiful. and so true. i was just thinking about that psalm that says “whom have i in heaven but Thee… my flesh and my heart may fail me, but God is my strength and my portion forever.”
this is beautiful nathaniel.
seriously nate, i read this again. oh my goodness, i feel these words right now. Jesus is so overwhelmingly beautiful. words fall short.
