We saw again, today.
The rest of our life, we say,
Is all thine.]

Your love is in flood.
Again, you rise from the dead.]

Mine thought, thou art.
We felt and ourselves, we forgot.
Thou filled us, our minds expanded, Loving Jesus.]

We caress thy feet and bow,
We dissolve ourselves in thou.]

Are all thee.
The wind that tames ire,
That too, is thee.]

In my mind's valley,
If I say thy name of power,
Wont it flower?]
