Captivated (Poem)

It is the dawn of a new day. The peaks aglow as fiery embers, the suns good morning kiss. The waves crash upon the shore; the sand welcomes a watery embrace. Darkness flees and shadows fail as the light penetrates. The clouds in the skies above give way. The snow capped mountain stretches itself toward heaven in absolute splendor. In the stillness, in the calm; I feel His presence upon me. The wind whispers His wonders the land echoes His majesty. My eyes behold such beauty before me; my soul cries out in ecstasy. You my God, my King; You are in all things. For Your pleasure was I created, for Your purpose was I designed. How amazing, how wonderful, how beautiful; I’m consumed by passion. My heart desires intimacy; my life is not my own. Behold, I stand before the maker of the heavens and the earth; He hears my cry. Oh God that I may love as you have loved. To see as You have seen. May I walk as you have walked. May I be forever captivated by the works of Your hand. May God forever be glorified; my spirit burns for You my God. My spirit burns for You. My lifesong sings to You. I stand in awe of You; in awe of You. My hands lifted toward the heavens; your word like honey on my lips. I praise the one, true, living God, Jehovah.
