Breathing in, I raise my head, staring into a canopy of clear, blue, skies<\/em><\/h6>\n
An eagle is soaring, high above he flies\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Sheltered under my Fathers wings, new life, He brings.<\/em><\/h6>\n
As the flowers grow in spring-time<\/em><\/h6>\n
And streams of living waters flow<\/em><\/h6>\n
My heart is full and carefree<\/em><\/h6>\n
As onward I go\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Being a lover of God, I step to and fro\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Dancing in the moon-light with innumerable stars\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
The fragrance of honeysuckle drifts near and far\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Searching through the night,<\/em><\/h6>\n
I come to realize, it\u2019s you I long for, tis you, I adore\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Counting the minutes until you knock at my door\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
My heart longs to be near you with each beat it takes<\/em><\/h6>\n
Lying in fields of green pastures, sleeping, I awake\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
My ears hearken, to hear your soft-voice, singing in pure worship,<\/em><\/h6>\n
I stand and rejoice\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
You are there, contented, with a smile on your face\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
I\u2019ve come to bring you blessings in the heavenly place\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
My heart beats wildly, with one glimpse, of you there<\/em><\/h6>\n
Loving you is easy; I will never despair\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
You are my life\u2019s essence, faithful and true<\/em><\/h6>\n
The High King of Heaven, Majesty, crowned, brand new\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Like fresh cut roses, dipped, in morning dew\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
I breath you in, Holy and sacred, all of my love is only for you!<\/em><\/h6>\n
Lover of God, created to be\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
When you look at my life, that\u2019s what you will see.<\/em><\/h6>\n
Dear Ahava, lover of God!<\/em><\/h6>\n
I know you and You know me!<\/em><\/h6>\n
Crowned with loving kindness, your presence is pure joy,<\/em><\/h6>\n
I am bound to you fully; <\/em><\/h6>\n
One touch of your Spirit and my soul is restored\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
To be known forever as the lover of the Lord!<\/em><\/h6>\n
