grace...

could i love you more
my heart in the palm of your hand
my love abandoned to you
wrapped in you
our bodies one
beating in you
my heart
held by you
my soul
satisfied
spirit so high
and you hold me
you know me
precious love
there's no lonliness inside me
held by you
you become my sustenance
source of eternal fulfillment
sweeter than red wine
to my soul
you know me
God's grace
is this gift
oh and you love me
what more could i have
ever asked for
greater than shakespeare's
mighty loves
you know me
you still love me
i am held by you
swimming in your heart
how beautiful this grace
my heart beating in you
wrapped in you
could i love you more
our bodies one
beating in you
God's sweet grace
to know and be known
to love and be loved
by you

good mercy...

held by
love unconditional
through pain and horrors untold
the steady hand still
keeps me
through the shadowy
valley of death
fear does not take me
for you are holding me
though I fall
you will catch me
your staff
guides me
next to your chest
i am comforted
you feed me
when i am hungry
the banquet of a king
before those who hate me
serenity and peace is
your nature
in your gentleness my soul
rests
you renew me
though pain immeasurable
terror untold abounds
i will rest under the
arms of the shepherd
surely your goodness
is your mercy
always with me
your love forever
my dwelling place
truly my cup runs over
