Light of Your Face

It was Your right hand, Your arm,

and the light of Your face, for You

loved them.

-Psalm 44:3

Your light,

O Lord,

has shined

its beam

upon me.

Your heart

has beat

with mine.

You extended

Your right hand

and I have

grasped it

in my own.

Your face

radiated

through the

depths of night

to find my

searching eyes.

Your beauty

has taken

my breath

from my lungs,

my heart

thunders to

rip from

its cage.

For You

loved me,

o Lord,

when I

was unlovable,

You reached

for me

when I

pulled away.

But You

would not

let me go.

Not then.

Not now.

You are

illuminated

by love.

I am blinded

by its brilliance

and taken

by its torch.

 

Prayer:

Thank You, Lord, that You search for me, and that You come for me with a fierceness that is fueled by Your love. Thank You that my heart stirs for You, and that I can hold securely to Your light. Amen.
