Purified

Your eyes of fire
      burn right through me
          see through me
                I am translucent
And what I feared
        would be revealed
             was also burned away
                  by love's refining gaze
So that I do not fear your piercing eyes
        but long for their cleansing fire
             Purifying me to the core
                filling me with the desire
To be pure
      to be seen
             to be light
                   to be translucent

"Will You Be Mine?"

When I said 'Yes' to You
      I bound myself to You forever
          As  a woman says yes to a proposal
                 and joyfully commits herself to her husband for life
When I said 'YES' to You
       I gave myself to you gladly
           I now belong to you
                 and will be YOURS forever!
When I said 'YES' to you
      I took vows to pledge you my love
          and 'forsaking all others', I took Your name
                and we became One.
But when I looked away
      another lover called
           when I turned away, even for a day
                   I rejected you
      I was unfaithful to my vows
           I did  forsake our union, an idol I chose
I broke your heart
          and caused your jealous anger to burn, yearning for my love
Why did I forget You were more than enough
          Why did I ever leave or ever look elsewhere for love?
                  O why did I cause such pain in your eyes?
You have never left me
       You have remained faithful to me, to your promises
                You have not withheld your love from me
I will return to You, my King and Bridegroom!!
       Please forgive my unfaithfulness
               I give you my whole heart~
                      I pledge you my love
                               I am Yours.
