Ode to My Lover

 

I rush to meet my lover

With outstretched arms 

And a longing heart.

As the raging waters gush towards the oceans

Is the depth of my desire for Him.

 

I rush to meet my lover

Despite the torrents of rain 

And the scorching of the sun.

As the mighty eagle chases after his prey

Is the hunger in my heart for Him.

 

I rush to meet my lover

With tears in my eyes 

And a pain in my heart.

I saw Him die that day

The day He gave His life for mine.
