My 
Faithful One
It is I 
Your Private Garden
in whom you delight
My lips of honeysuckle and mandarin
My skin of coconut and cinnamon oil
My golden hair of roses and mint 


My Tender One
My Love
My Friend
You've become my closest companion
With each visit
Hope's buds blossomed
Faith's branches strengthened
The soil of my soul
Purified 
Enriched

Your affection heals me
Your words
Your Promises
are seeds of love
reaping the sweetest of fruits
All for you
Only for you
Because of You

My Eternal One
My Wall
My Warrior
My King
I am yours
 
I trust you because
you defend me
you protect me
you cover me

My Only One
I can no longer hear your voice
Why can't I trust
Why do I suffer
Why have I turned my back to 
The Only one


The more I need you
the more I resist you
I am in dark place
The sun hasn't shined above me for a while
Pursue me
For I fear
the weeds of a broken heart will turn
fruit once sweet to bitter


I will find rest
You won't let go
You will find me
For we are one
You are rooted in me
I am rooted in you
Nothing will separate us
