Oh, Love, That Wilt Not Let Me Go....! + Prayer

I Was In Bed
We Were Talking
Well, I Was Speaking
He Is Always Listening
He Is The Lover ... Of My Soul!

I Tell Him Things ...
Private Personal
Angry Sad
Happy Glad
Bitter Remorseful
Hopeful Needful!

I Tell Him Things ...
The Deep Longings Of My Soul
The Things That Often Make My Heart Cold
The Things That Make Me Tremble
The Things That Make My Spirit Soar
Unto To Him
Loving Him
Needing Him
Desiring His Blessing
Needing His Correction
Accepting His Direction!

I Speak Of My Fear
Godly Fear
That Causes Me Not To Want To Disappoint Him
To Cause His Name To Be Besmirched
Because
We Are Married!

We Have Not Yet Had The Marriage Feast
Even Though I Have The Gown Ready
Pure White
Impossible For Man To Make
- He Provided It -
- He Is That Good -
AND
He Is Preparing For Me
A Glorious Place
In His Father's House
Where There Are Mansions
In The Heavenly Home
In The Haven Of Rest!

You Know
I Had To Change My Way Of Thinking
About Houses And Lands
When He Told Me That
His Father's House Held Mansions!

I Tried To Picture It
AND
I Failed
Because
On Earth ... My Present Homeland
Some People's Houses Are Homes
Some People's Houses Are Mansions
AND
Some People Have No House To Make A Home
AND
Some Homes Are Not Houses!

With Him
My Heart Is At Home!

At Times
I Have Had To Speak Confession
Repenting Of ... Sin
My Sallying Forth Into Naughtiness
- Actually Lawlessness -
AND
Repentance
That Is My Really Forsaking The Wrong
AND
Walking Away From It
Never To Do It Again!

I Ask Him For God's Grace
His Favor
- I Have No Merit -
AND
I Receive It!

Sometimes
- I Need To Do It More Often
As In Constantly -
I Plead For His Spirit To Indwell
To Possess Me
So That I Am Consumed By His Love
To Be Used By Him
For Him
To Save ... Me
To Teach Others ... Truth
To Tell Others About The Holy Life
Saving Grace
Living Faith
Free Mercy
The Blessings Of Peace
Rest Hope
Help Healing
The Love That Will Not Let The Soul - My Soul - Go
Forgiveness
Leading Direction
Correction
Justice Justification
Salvation
- He Paid The Cost To Save My Life -
Intercession For Sin
- He Is Prophet Priest King -
Redemption
- He Is Coming Soon To Take Me To His Home -
Glorification
- He Is Going To Give Me His Life
Actually Raise Me Up From Death
Make Me Immortal As He Is -
AND
About His Throwing Open
The Gates Of Heaven
To Take Me ... Bodily
Over The Threshold
To Life ... Everlasting!

My Heart Can't Take In All That He Has Promised
BUT
I Know That He Is Able To Keep My Heart
Which I Have Committed Unto Him
Until The Great Day Of Vengeance
Against The Adversary
- That Enemy Of My Soul
Who Keeps Trying To Keep Us Apart -
Unto The Consummation
When We Are Eternally One!

He Has Promised
AND
I Believe His Word
That
He Will Never Forsake Me
Even When I Behave Like A Backsliding Heifer
Or A Deceitful Bow!

He Is The Poet
When He Speaks Of His Love To Me!

He Writes Prose
When He Speaks Of My Betrayals
AND
When He Displays His Jealous Heart's Deep Pleading
Calling Me To Come Back To Him!

He Could Destroy Me
BUT
His Justice Is Holding Mercy's Hand
AND
Truth Is Every Present!
He Is The Son Of God!
He Is The Son Of Man!
He Is My Blessed Hope!
AND
He Is Mine For Eternity!
It Was Not Always That Way!!

Treacherously
I Sold Gold To Buy Silver
AND
I Got Dirty
ANDDirt!

I Placed My Fallen-Man Brand
- By Sin -
Upon Him
AND
I Laid It On With Doubt, First
Then The Whip
With Cursing
With Mocking
With Spitting
With Lying
With Thorns On His Brow
With The Walk Of Shame
With Nails In His Hands And Feet
AND
Raising Him Between Heaven And Earth
On The Accursed Tree
Separating Him From His Beloved Father
Who Was Ever Well Pleased With Him.

I Ever Thrust A Spear In His Side!
Blood Of the Sacrifice Came Out
AND
The Water Of Life!

I Even Boldly Laid Him In A Grave!
It Was Actually A New
- Though Borrowed -
Tomb.
He Was Counted Among The Offenders.

I Am ASHAMED.
I Had Found OFFENSE In Him.

I Had Considered His True Love
A Devilish Lie
AND NOWAt The Thought
I Cry As Though I Would Die!

Remember When I Said
His Love Would Not Let Me Go?!

His Love For Me
Conquered Death
Conquered Hell
Conquered The Grave
AND
HE. GOT. UP
AND
HE. ROSE. UP
AND

Went Back Up To Heaven
AND
HE. IS. COMING. BACK.
Down.
To Earth
FOR. ME.

I Sing To Him ... Songs Of Praise ...

My Jesus, I Love Thee!
Precious Lord, Take My Hand
Lead Me Gently Home!

Lead Kindly Light!
Through All The Changing Scenes Of Life
Hide Thou Me!

I Will Follow Thee, My Savior!
Whosoever Will May Come!

Revive Us Again!
Come, Holy Spirit!

I Am Delivered!
Bless His Holy Name ... I
Kneel At The ... His ... Cross
Even As I
Lean On The Everlasting Arm
Because
He Washed My Eyes With Tears
AND
I Can See.
A Broken Heart Was Good For Me.

I Desire To Be
What He Wants Me To Be
Because
The Lord Knows
I Am Coming Home ... Soon!
I Had Wandered Far From God.

In His Glory
I Shall See The King
One Glorious Day
Real Soon!

PRAYER:

Jesus, Lover Of My Soul
I, To Thy Bosom Fly!
Bless Me
To Walk Faithful
In The Light Of Thy Love! 
Bless Me, My Lovely Jesus
To Live For Thee
Though
By Appointment
I Die!
I Love You
With My Whole Heart!
Come Soon!
AMEN.
