HEARTBEAT

ONE TRUE DESIRE

How do I repay You, my Friend?
How do I Love You as You Love me?
How do I stay fast against Your Chest?
How do I keep my eyes fixed upon Yours?
How do I satisfy You, my King?

OH! That I would meet
forever meet
the deepest need of Your Heart
to be LOVED!!!
This is my prayer!
This is my
ONE TRUE DESIRE!
For the Gifts
will come and go
The riches will last only for awhile

The people are eternal, yes
But I was created to
LOVE
THE MOST HIGH GOD!
To give back
THE LOVE
which pierced Your Hands
and ripped Your Flesh!

I want
to make all
the pain and suffering worth it!

I want
to dry Your Tears of grief
upon your Cheeks!

I want
to stand with my hand
upon Your Shoulder
and assure You as the others sleep
that I will stay with You
and watch and pray!

I want
to be the one
to carry Your Cross for You!

I want
to be the one beaten
in Your place!

I want
the nails driven in my hands!

I want
to hang on the Cross for You
and feel the Father's denial
His quiet absence!

I want
to go back in time
and take Your place!

I am the one
who deserves it - who deserves to die!
I am the one
who did not acknowledge You
and Your Goodness!

***
Lord Jesus
Capture my heart
in a way
which You will be perfectly fulfilled
with my Love!
I LOVE You, my King, My Life!
ALL I want is You!
HELP!
Forever help me contain
MORE
of Your
PRESENCE!!!


THE BEAT GOES ON...
