God's Jugular

O God, what is Your jugular, let me know,
tell me the center of Your target, please,
what is the essence of Your ebb and flow,  
where is the best of You that I can seize?
If I should have the best the world can give,
all wealth, all fun do not bring happiness,
it's not for what, but rather how we live,
not who we are or what we may possess.
It's part of You, O God, I want to own,
I can't have all, You are too big for me,
I ask Your heart, You will not give a stone,
I want to really be, not not to be.
Your jugular love, before I pray for it,
already, Lord, You’ve given every bit.
