Consumed

O I need Him
the unquenchable Fire
The One who consumes all that is not His
I need Him
the Deliverer of my soul
The One who transforms one that is nothing into His Might

I have naught to offer Him
Nothing of value to give
Any love I have is a sigh in the wind
Even in that do I need Him
Fo I have not the love to love Him
And yet...
I have a strong yet flickering desire
to leave all of this behind
to be totally consumed
Enveloped, possessed
by the One who left all for me
as He said, a pearl found in the mire

O I need Him
how I need Him
the unquenchable fire that consumes all that is not His
