Love Restored (The Lord’s Embrace)

When grief strikes my wounded heart
When darkness clouds my vision
When tears is my sustenance
And words lose their meaning

In a still small voice
You bring me into the desert
Into the dryness of my soul
You pour Your living water
To quench my longing thirst
To wash my broken body
To heal my grievous wounds

You silence the loudness around me
And embrace me in Your arms
So closely, so tenderly
I feel the heartbeat of the One I love
Every beat healing the hurt within

Nothing else appeals to me
You captured my heart once again
You lift my countenance
And breathe in me new life
You said, "I am yours and you are Mine"
Such words, beyond my comprehension

Now I am lovesick
My heart burns within me
Drowning in the River of Fire
Dancing in the River of Love
