THE TENDER GAZE OF YOUR EYES
Jesus, You are the Drumbeat of my life,
My Heartbeat upon awakening,
The Vibrancy of my day,
The Height of Joy in the noonday,
My Dreams in the night. You are Jesus.
I delight in the pride in Your eyes when I have pleased You.
To know that I have brought joy to the heart of the Creator of the universe.
Who am I that I can please You?
Why do You care so much for me, such a sinner - as Paul says, the chiefest of all?
How grand - each glad moment I’ve brought to Your heart.
Each time You have sung over me with exultant joy. (Zeph. 3:17)
You are my Savior. My Lord. My Dearest Friend. Jesus.
You hold me together, keep me from falling apart.
You give meaning to my day, and hope to the night.
The time You spend with me is true Quality of Life,
Deeply engaging, totally satisfying, greatly rewarding.
You hold me gently when I long for Your closeness.
Your cheek brushes mine when I need You to be near.
Your tender touch softens the longing of my soul.
Our hearts beat in rhythm at the grand spectacle of Your creation.
All that You have is mine, Your child. Your miracle. Your love. Yours.
You are Grace beyond compare.
You are Love yet to be told.
You wait for me to tap into all that You can be for me.
You long for that which only I can give You,
My fellowship. My love. My heart. My yearning,
My dreams of the day when I will be with You forever.
The longing of my heart for Your love is unquenchable.
You love me as no one else can.
You are God. My God. You are my Savior. You are Jesus..
The One who has bathed me so deeply in Your Holy Spirit.
You are the One Who heals me. Delivers me. Gives me life.
The One Who brought me into Kingdom living with You. Now. You are Jesus.
