The Candle Of My Life – poetry
August 26, 2020
In a dark and lonely room
With a fire in my heart
I close my eyes and think of You
With unquenchable hunger
I call out to You
You are the union I crave
One taste of Your love
One drink of Your soul
My quest will last forever
Though clouded by flesh
Surrounded by worldliness
Like a flower buried beneath the snow
The enemy rages to rip us apart
Moments are stolen, some slip away
But light always returns
And melts away the baracade that tries to keep us apart
And that thing deep inside
First contact never dies
It twists and turns and cries out to survive
With conquering force
Breaks down all the lies
And sets free the heart , the love and the cries
The candle inside -the Love of my life
So much more than a Savior
His essence abides
Jesus, Jesus
Love of my life
May Your heart know how I hunger for You tonight
