Pulse of Love

I feel my heart beat with a pulse of love,
but I don’t, Lord, just love You with my heart,
each breath I take, each thought I’m thinking of,
I love You, and with every other part.

I love with every part because You’re there,
Your loving presence, oh, so wonderful,
in me can’t both our loves be everywhere,
could it be normal what’s a miracle?

For You here it’s the way You have commanded,
with all my heart and mind and strength and soul,
yet somehow I desire my love expanded
beyond the common human loving role.

Let me pulse love before, beside, behind,
more than I can, Lord,--eager, fierce and kind.
