Analysis of The prayer in my heart

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



The prayer in my heart
That I hope will never leave
That touched the depths
Of all love I conceive
Left my breath held
And my longing pleads
To hear it again
To call my leave
And raise me home
On the glistening breeze
That fills your being
Like the sun does please
My heart contains it
For else I would freeze
To be without your love
Is to be without need
For you are the oneness
And you are God's deed
In all we are risen
As for you our hearts bleed
With the light that we share
On the knowledge that you feed.
