Throughout my life
of loneliness and pain
I have often longed and prayed for
a union with God
to gain

This longing for union is
still very deep and strong
Sometimes overshadowed by
the action of life
yet never gone

Union still is my heart’s desire
This I strive for
in my great search
Yet maybe now I have found
a joy in life
so I feel I am living less on the edge
of a knife

Forever I am still longing
Both in silence and in sound
for this Greatest Love to abound
All the way until complete union
where all is found
