Oh Come Let Us Adore Him

Oh Lord, My Lord

I take this moment now

to adore You.

To realize, breathing quietly

how my heart, my deepest emotions

are longing for You

and fulfilled by You

all at once.

You truly are the King

terrible in Majesty

and yet You are my Friend.

Your face is so familiar

to my minds eye:

the kindness and compassion

the understanding smile

the laughter and mischief

of a playful companion.

And Your eyes,

so passionate, piercing

and beautiful to behold

as you hold my face in your hands

and look into mine.

You speak my name

and suddenly we are alone

the whole universe gone silent and still around us,

spinning no more

because You have given me

Your full attention.

My Lord Jesus,

I am set to adore You

for who You are

and all that I can see

is Your love for me.

Love, bright, resplendent
glorious,
radiating from You, for me.
My adoration is a candle
ignited by the sun
of Your presence.

To me,

right now
this Love

is who You are.
