The Sweetness of the Lord

a poem I wrote yesterday—learning that my feelings do not change God's love. a wonderful thing to learn...

Oh, for the day when last I tasted
The sweetness of the Lord.
My heart has found no other place where
Love can reach its’ shores.
Times of storm and howling winds,
Times of swirling clouds.
On the shoreline of my heart
His love but pounds the more.
Who can offer love so strong
And constant through the night?
For even when we do not taste it
Still it pounds our hearts.
Oh, for the day when I will taste
The sweetness of the Lord.
And all my heart will melt beneath
The pounding of His love.
