My Hug, His Embrace

A poem I wrote when my sleeplessness broke.

Praised be the LORD forever!
He is the giver of my peace
He knows just what I need
Halleluyah, Halleluyah!

Praise be to my King!

He rests me by the river
And leads me back to pastures green
He fills my cup with heavenly dew
It refills my soul, making me whole.

Forever, I am whole!
Forever I am HIS!
Forever I am Loved
Forever in His arms.

Hundred and eighty degrees I turn
I reached out to give him a hug
I embraced the air tightly
Knowing You are there

I close my eyes, and sigh
In your snug embrace
Around my shoulders
In my heart, in my soul

Clothe me with Your fragrance!
O heavenly dew of lavender and mint
And freshly trimmed grass 
A hint of the sweet, sweet fruit

O kiss me with the kisses of Your lips
Hug me and never let go
Whisper your words of love to me
My heart pounds with love and exhilaration

Your are my LORD, my LORD!
You are all I need. 
Your Grace is enough for me.
Your Grace is enough. Enough!

I thank You for this Grace
From the depth of your Embrace
I am beside myself with peace
Peace everlasting, ever calming.

Your hand on mine, I in yours
Holding my heart, holding my soul
I sigh.. sigh.. sigh

I am complete, 
Completed by you.
Completed in this hug
Completed, in Your Embrace.
