I knew true love when I knew Your name,
And closed my heart to all but Your flame.
I called to You, O One who sees,
The secrets of hearts, yet hides with ease.
I love You two loves, each a way,
One born of longing, one of Your sway.
The love of longing keeps me near,
Lost in Your name, no others appear.
The love You deserve is greater still,
Unveiling the veils by Your divine will.
Yet none of the praise in love is mine,
O Lord, all praise is forever Thine.
I long with two yearnings deep inside,
One for Your closeness, one to abide.
The first brings tears for the distance I feel,
A river of sorrow, yet it does heal.
The second ignites a sacred fire,
My life dims beneath Your light’s desire.
Yet in my chants, no complaints arise,
For I am content with what You devise.
O Lord, in Your guidance, I take my rest,
With all You decree, I know I am blessed.
