Your Beauty

Your beauty lives within my heart As if a warming flame, As if a poet to impart The sigh that is your name... Your beauty gives me constant grace Like those with souls reborn, Like those who seek God's sweet embrace And to His love are drawn... Your beauty breaks what shackles hold, Releasing me at last, Releasing hopes as joys unfold To overcome the past... Your beauty makes a brighter day With every smile you share, With every touch you lead the way In answer to each prayer... Your beauty glows to light my path, For each step I explore, For each decision's aftermath And yet you mean much more... Your beauty fills me every hour, To bless all things I do, To bless me with your holy power, No wonder I love you... So from Heaven, watch above me, Where all God's angels throng... If I love you and you love me, Together we are strong... The universe is just a scroll That time reveals to all, Until your word completes its goal And at your feet we fall...
