“Knowing You”

There were times when all I wanted was to run and hide,
And the secrets that were in my heart burned deep inside.
Then You called me. You enthralled me,
With the wonder of the magic world of knowing You.

When my mind was torn in dangling threads of vanished song,
And the time we stood apart had lasted far too long,
You retrieved me, You received me,
Now You weave me through the tapestry of knowing You.

Sai! Behind each kind and tender smile, I see Your face,
Each tree I find has robed itself in jewels and lace,
For You found me, and astound me,
With Your love: the unimagined Grace of knowing You.

Now, such joy unbounded, spilling over length and breadth,
Yes, I’ll go with You through endless worlds, past life and death.
I am free now, for I see how
Every moment’s been a shining step toward knowing You.
