Glory to Your Love, O Lord!

What should I say, what could I say
when my heart became so weary
and my flesh failed me
a sharp sword, a slippery stone
and I stumbled before the waterfall

Too many sounds
yet couldn't be heard so clearly
too many bees
around the Java apple's blossoms
when the calm, warm and dry down slope winds
breezed through the branches of the trees

Then I fainted, trying to catch breath
my tongue was stiff
and my eyes went droopy
voicelessly I moaned
as though drowning in turbulent stream

Suddenly a spotlight pierced the darkness
as though the moon shied away and the stars hid behind the clouds
a gentle hand, a strong hand reached me
"My son, my son, where are you?" as He approached
tears burst out through my downcast eyelids

"My Lord, my Lord" my heart cried spontaneously
"I am drowning, help me"
He ran and embraced me and brought me back to Him
then a noisy chamber he set
and a fat calf prepared on the table
for the prodigal and wandering child

Lord, Your Love!
How could I understand it
How strong, how mighty
How holy and how great!

Now let me put on the robe of your Love that You give
that I may rest and stay among Your servants, seeing Your glory
Your royal ring of mercy and faithfulness
be on my finger and let me rejoice and walk in the light of Your Majesty

Being with You, O my Lord, my heart rests in peace
Not the sea of sweets nor the mirage in the desert
could comfort me, only You O Lord
Not the heat of the sun nor the fiercest wind
could shake me when I am under Your Wings

Let me stay and be the least of Your servants but let me be with You
My life is Yours and I throw myself under your Holy Feet
Lord, teach me Your statutes, for You are my God!
Let my heart beats proclaim Your mercy and goodness!

Glory to Your Love! Glory to Your Unfailing Love, O Lord!
