Not enough lives

i love Thee Lord, i love thee i love thee

i don't have enough tears to shed for you
i don't have enough lives to serve you with
to put at your feet

i am just a little atom of love
in front of your vastness

O Lord Holy and Pure!

Destroy me so utterly
that i may never be again!

O Lord Holy and Pure!
Who are you?
Whose feet i love, so.

Who are you, destroying me bit by bit
and not in one stroke

Let me die at Your Feet
Beloved
Let me die anywhere -- all is Your Feet
anyway.

Our lives are a century apart
and yet you hold my soul so tightly
Yet you love me so, that i have lost all
in your love.

What is this mystery?
It seems i was made to gaze at Thee
to murmur Thy holy name
to be destroyed by Thy love
and nothing else.
There is nothing else i can look at
nothing else i can love
nothing else that matters.
