Melt

I want to love.
Not the shallow currents of a passing creek,
but the deep streams of love.
To love with the entirety of my being.
Whether love of God, wife, or child, that my
Innate capacity to love would become as great in
Depth and breadth as an ocean.
Far beyond what I am capable to on my own
It is only by abundant grace that I can learn
This love that I seek.
Oh Lord that you would pour out your grace on me!
That I would love you with an un-fettered heart
My eyes turned ever upward, and my
Steps falling in paths of righteousness.
That you would be my everything.
I want a love like the world does not know
Open my heart to you
Open my heart to you!

"God in my living, there in my breathing, God in my waking, God in my sleeping, God in my resting, there in my working, God in my thinking, God in my speaking, be my everything, God in my hoping, there in my dreaming, God in my watching, God in my waiting, God in my laughing, there in my weeping, God in my hurting, God in my healing... Be my everything."
