A world of dew,

And within every dewdrop

A world of struggle

Stardust in my steps,

I am heavenly on earth.

They've praised my essence.

you have made the stars

in your abounding love; wrote

names with careful hands —

and I cry because —

I forget to say the words

"I love you". I have

never shouted these

so loud my voice grew hoarse and

the air I no longer breathe.

you I only asked

to help me love you better —

I forgot your heart.

now, I cannot shout

but you hear the soft whispers

of songs in the night.

forever anew

I will call on your name just

to say:.

I

love

you.

from the quiet heart

in me — I love you, Abba.

in my hands, a part

of your love I hold.

(its full depth none can fathom.)

for now, I shall dream.

always of your smile

just as you have inspired mine

and the Earth's, their mile.

I love you, Abba.

church, may we never forget

we too can pray just

to proclaim our love.

because that is God's desire,

that we accept His love

— that we love Him back.
