"Fragrance"

The love of You was poured out into my innermost being, and the warmth of Your joy and peace caressed my soul to seeing.

I fell into the depth of Your Holy Hand; that cradled me and calmed the storm in my dry land.

Your overflowing gentleness cupped the tears I cried; but You said: be strong on Your faithfulness I can rely.

You said; You would never leave nor forsake me because of Your loving kindness; even as I walked in the world of stumbling blindness.

I must go on and endure long-suffering to the very end because what is before me is all of Your goodness on which I depend.

I must not be selfish; I have self- control because in my last hour it's You I want to behold!
