I will listen for what resonates
beyond the world's sounds.
I will not be constrained by mere appearance
for You await me in the silence.
Let me lay my burdened senses by awhile.
When I approach with mind uncluttered
stand with open heart, expectantly
I know You'll fill my cup to overflowing.
The bounty of Your love's my only need.
Friend of my heart, You are the treasure
that nothing on Earth can wrench from me.
I am Yours and You are mine, always.
There is truly naught but Thee.
