Overwhelmed… overtaken by love

Could a man be more overwhelmed by love?
Could a heart be more wooed?
I searched for security, stability, validity in the realms of organization
I looked so many places for value and for reassurance
But You, Jesus, my Lord
In Your mercy, You kept calling me back
You have kept drawing near to me, and in Your Grace, loved me

I tried to imagine where I would be without You, my God
I wonder what my heart would look like
You have brought light and hope
How can Your Love really be this good?
How can a heart overflow again and again?
How can it keep getting better?
What is this Divine Love?

You overwhelm me
You overtake me
You surround me on every side
You bring me through as the Israelites walked on dry ground through the Red Sea
What is this Divine love You have for us?

I thought I knew You
I thought I had some concept of Your love for people
But You…
You are always more
You are always greater
There is always enough, even now, there is more than enough!

I asked to know Love as much as is possible for a man to know
I prayed and brought my supplication before the Lord
I said, “Oh God, I want to give and receive as much Love as is possible for a man in this life, and to that end I will give my heart and strength.”
And then You…
You brought me into the school of love
Tenderizing the deep places of my soul
All my walls fall down
I do not reel back from You
My trust is in Your Word, and I give myself again to know it

Your law is perfect, converting my soul
Your testimony is sure, making me wise
Your statutes are right, rejoicing my heart
Your commandment is pure, enlightening my eyes

I am overwhelmed again by Divine Love
