Let Your God Love You  

Be silent.  

Be still.  

Alone,  

Empty  

Before your God.  

Say nothing.  

Ask nothing.  

Be silent.  

Be still.  

Let your God  

Look upon you.  

That is all.  

God knows.  

And understands.  

God loves you with  

An enormous love,  

Wanting only to  

Look upon you  

With love  

Quiet.  

Still.  

Be.  

Let your God Love you.
