YOU KNOW ME BETTER

You know me better than anyone has ever known me.

You know me in my good and bad days.

You’ve always been here

When all is well as when all’s not,

Yet and still you take me in

You have made me thine!

Although you know my imperfections,

They’re not hidden from you, so great is my lack!

Greater than the vast sky above

The flights of dove, You welcomed love.

Had it not been so it would not have been love at all.

Thank you for not tolerating the imperfections, also for not rejecting me because of them.

I thirst for more, more than what I have enstore.

Find me once and for all, hold me closely into your embrace,

Especially when I’m afar, until at last I behold your Face.

Your presence I seek and yearn

To be at last in your embrace,

No more imperfections but simply beholding

Peace, Sweet Wonderful Peace Unspeakable.
