God's Thirst
For ages my call went forth
Yet many remained unmoved
Ignoring my thirst to be loved.
Upon the wood renewing
But some bore hearts
Of stone while giving my
All on that hill almost alone.
I love, I desire love, because I
Am Love. For their sakes and for
Them alone I seek the love of all
....
For within the reality of Creation
To become deified through love
Is the grace filled vocation which
I have eternally ordained.
