IN HIS LOVING EMBRACE

Comfort in the Cold by Chris Brazelton

I want to know the greatness of You,

To understand Your godhood

And all that you do.

I want to feel the depth of

Your benevolent heart;

To hide in its shadow,

And from there never to part.

I want to follow every word

That falls from Your merciful lips,

I want to give all that You ask

Without reservation of my proud heart.

I would give this and more besides

To once again know the tender caress

Of Your unfailing loving embrace.
