Where Else Would I Go?

Oh God, my God, Your gentle waves have crashed over me.

Every touch a flood of love and mercy.

Wash over me my King.

Soothe my hassled soul with Your caresses.

How apt am I to leave Your Presence;

How quick my feet do wonder from Your intimacy.

Hold me, Jesus, hold me.

Strengthen me, sweet Holy Spirit,

To hold His gaze a little longer;

To linger in His fiery love.

Yes, I want to call all the others to know You like I do.

Yes, I want to strut about the house in Daddy’s shoes and jacket.

Yes, I want them to know and behold – I am Your beloved son!

These pitiable desires of mine…

Oh save me from them all.

Increase my joy to maximum fullitude,

In those moments of tender touch.

Let these faux-noble desires of my heart,

Be washed away like writings in the sand,

As your waves crash over me.

Crash! Oh unspeakable joy!

Crash! Oh love divine!

Lead me into Your rest,

Where all desires are met;

Where striving ceases;

Where all is stillness.

In your arms I will make my final abode.

My Lord, my King, my Love, my All,

All is here in Your Presence.

I will stay Here forever.

Where else would I go?
