Forever

Christ ‘s eyes see me –
they see through me
and in me.

Christ’s strong arms
hold me close
to His chest.

He is Power and Strength;
to create,
to breathe life,
to sustain,
to resurrect.

Christ’s body carries the scent of
tears and sweat and
blood shed for me;
mingled with incense
spices and myrrh
that anoint His body.

In Christ I sense
affection,
delight,
His love for me.

I eat the bread He offers me,
and drink the cup He hands me;
They fill me
and strengthen me.
I breathe Him in,
He fills my senses.
It is intoxicating.

He takes my hand
to walk His path with Him,
to live His life with Him,
to love Him.

Forever.
