as i long...

how i long for the day

in which you will betroth me to you forever.

an ache is the state of my soul

now, aching.

i need more of you.

this is why i reach for you

with everything in my being.

i long to touch the lines on your face

and hear your voice

and smell your glory

and be hugged by you.

all the while,

as i long...

i jump with my feet

i escape with my mind.

i scream with my gut.

i utter with my soul.

i search with my arms.

crying heartily righteously inwardly shouting testimonies

of the grace and mercy of

jesus christ
