LOST

Lost in wonder and reverence of a God beyond yet near

So lost in amazed praise there is no room for any fear

Looking yet not seeing, yet seeing without looking

A reflection I can receive only when seeking

The light fills my heart and over floods my soul

Refilling and completing my hearts eternal hole

Music unwritten and not sung by weak humanity

Flows within my soul to praise it sets me free

Beyond hands and knees my soul lifts and falls down

My trembling hands seek for the hem of His holy gown

Where I am lost in whom I am seeking

The place lost to the One for whom I’m looking

Is that bright flash a smile from His wondrous face?

Is that warm sensation from God’s own embrace?

Beyond feeling and beyond all human emotion

Swept away beyond even love to humble devotion

I cannot see the face I so long to see

My human frailty and sin do constrain me

Human words no longer hold any value

Limiting all my heart and soul has for You

Lost in the wonder and worship of You I can’t see

Preparation of the time lost in You I will be
