Here At The Beginning

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."  (Genesis 1:1)

                                                               HERE AT THE BEGINNING

Here at the beginning
Here in the quiet presence of You
Here I lay my heart down
Come, Conquer, Subdue

Here at the beginning
Teach me what to ask
I don't want vain words
Or straws at which to grasp

Here at the beginning
Show me Your truth
Wrap me in Your presence
Let Your love infuse

Here at the beginning 
May I come to an end
May my every heartbeat
Collide with Yours, descend

Here at the beginning
Begin in me anew
Until all of me is gone
And there is ever and always You...
