You have asked

for everything

i turn into Your all-ways-present-ness,
i turn into Your loveliness and Your gentleness,
and i am ravished by Sweetness,

i am wrapped up in Your robes,
i am wrapped tightly in Your wings,
You tell me I am Yours,
and this changes everything.

there is no room here for the stuff i tried to carry,
You have not asked me to carry it,
You have asked me to leave everything behind,
and to cling to You only.

You have asked me to be satisfied in You alone,
there is no other way into this union,
here is the complete abandonment of my soul,
since You made it for Yourself,
it goes to You.

it may sound scary
but there is no room for fear
when I see the tender kindness in Your eyes
and You pull me so close
i am safe

You walk with me patiently, never leaving
but i cannot deny that You have asked for complete devotion
so have it
have it all
have everything
have all of me
i lose my life
to find You.
