Only your love can cause this peace,
Releasing its comfort within me.
Its gentleness will never cease,
Keeping my heart filled with glee.

The spark of your love ignites my soul,
And kindles a flame deep and true.
Which burns and everlasting coal,
By fire, I surrender to you.

I am, with you, the essence of
the soul I wish to be.
The mighty tonic of your love

distills the best of me.
