QUIET ME WITH YOUR LOVE
(Inspired by Zephaniah 3: 17)

Like a mother’s breast
To her nursing child,
Quiet me with Your Love,
So tender and so mild.

Like a lover’s kiss,
Sweeter than wine is,
The taste of perfect peace
Which only You could give.
Quiet me with Your Love.

A Mighty King
Riding on a strong white steed,
You crossed the chasm and tore the veil
And saved us from our abyss.

And like a doting Father
You rejoice over us with singing.
Though like helpless babes
On our own, we can’t do a thing.

Oh, what could I give
To this King of Kings
Who would deign to reign
In this tiny cottage called my heart ?

Nothing but praise and thanksgiving
For I ‘m utterly
Humbled,
Inundated,
Annihilated ,
Enthralled.
