Your Heart is Ever

Before Me

I have tried the reigns of your heart,

And still it beats for Me.

You have been in the valley,

through the water and the fire

And still your heart beats for Me.

Before I formed you, in your mothers belly,

I knew you and ordained that you

be a burning flame,

so that all may see how you belong to Me.

I yearn to take you totally unto myself

And let no one else have you

For you are Mine and I am yours.

Your heart is ever before Me.

I shall tenderly entreat you

to let Me love you all the more.

I will kiss you with

the kisses from My lips

For you are like a delicate flower

in a garden that needs tending.

You are a diamond that should be shown

Oh, my beautiful bride,

I cherish every smile and meditative thoughtthat you send in My direction.

I know that the concerns of this life

can weigh you down

But, I will turn it aroundbecause I love you

And your heart is ever before Me.

You are Mine

Forevermore

In the quiet hours of the morning,

before it is time for you to rise

And begin your day

softly, I am calling you.

Gently creating a stir within your spirit,so that you will yearn to be with Me

as you begin to awake from

the sweet sleep I gave to you last night.

Come steal away with Me for a time.

Sit in My presence

and let Me open up My good treasure unto you.

Let Me give you all the attention you need.

Allow Me to overshadow you with My love.

You are My undefiled, My dove and the choice fruit

from My own vineyard.
