More Then Just Singing

The lights go down and the words appear
                    I close my eyes and you are there
                                        No one else just Lover and Beloved
                                                            I sing to you, the words are like seeds
                                                                                That spring to life in your presence

Your Spirit joins mine in a mix of grace and peace
                    The two of us now one, if only for a moment
                                        A foreshadow of the heavenly bliss yet to be
                                                          I see you in all your beauty, soaking in my praise

Like a proud parent watching a performing child
                    A sight of perfect acceptance and love
                                        Let the world be as though it never was
                                                            Only let this moment never end
                                                                                For I am in the arms of my lover

If I was never loved, I am now
                    For you chose to spend this time with me
                                        Words move me to tears
                                                            As I struggle to convey my need for you

For you are my all
                    Without whom there would be no reason to sing
                                        No reason to close my eyes
                                                            No one to love
                                                                                No love to give

I raise my hand and bow my head in humble ecstasy
                    Not because I should
                                        Not because I’m told
                                                            But because I must

For that is who I am
                    The way I was created
                                        To love and worship you
                                                            My God, my Savior, my Lover
                                                                                I praise Thee
