As long as the sun shines bright ahead,
As long as the rain soaks the ground,
As long as the cattle is safely fed,
As long as the niche is bright and round.

I will long for Your love day and night,
I will pray and remember Your name,
I will confess my sins with no fright,
I will profess my love without a sliver of shame.

In the dead of night, I clutch my beads,
In the dead of night, I call upon You,
In the dead of night, I state my needs,
In the dead of night, Your light shines true.

In the blink of an eye, my prayers are answered,
In the blink of an eye, Your beauty is apparent,
In the blink of an eye, I am given shelter,
In the blink of an eye, my demons are struck with Clarent.

A glimpse of peace unbeknownst to most,
A glimpse of love unnoticed by all,
A glimpse of care unoffered by any host,
A glimpse of understanding, an answered call.

You Alone see all, hear all, tend to all,
You Alone can end the ongoing suffering,
You Alone keep me steady through it all,
You Alone offer solace on the Day of Reckoning.

When shadows creep and doubt takes form,
When storms arise and silence screams,
You wrap my soul in Your embrace warm,
And guide me back through imminent dreams.

No crown I seek, no worldly throne,
No treasure gleams like Your satisfaction.
Just to be near You, and You alone,
Inspires the most unreal, raw attraction.
