You came and found me
A passionate love so complete
I could not hide
I tried
To escape Your Arms
Running wild
I thought I was free
That You never knew me
And could never find me
Then You caught me
When I wasn’t looking
Your Arms held on tight
I could not fight
Your Love overpowered me
It shone so bright
It’s unbearable beam saw me
As I struggled to be free
It had captured me
Raptured me
Before I could leave
In its Lover’s Kiss I drowned
Such anguished joy
Burned through my heart
As I tasted this fruit
I knew I could not ever leave
I can not speak
Of this Love Divine
It cuts too deep
And shows my shame
Above it all
He rides again
Closer than a lover
Pulling me in
Then He takes me Home
To be with Him
In a Paradise
Once lost
But now forever sewn within.
