His love is all consuming
It lingers and awaits for the moment
To be right to pour into our souls

Our Lord sits at the door of
Our hearts patiently awaiting to come in

His love consumes that which is opened unto
Him welcoming his Holy Spirit within

He uproots that which is evil and vile and unclean
Replacing it with good things that only come from God

He will consume our thoughts
Our actions and our everything
If we bid him come in

For to allow him to consume us is the sweetest thing
Mankind can experience

Unlike earthly and fleshly things which can never
Satisfy his love fills that place where nothing else can

Man has a one on one relationship with
The creator of mankind
And all living things when his love
Is allowed to consume the willing soul

Tis sweet to be in his loving care
Yet many blessings otherwise unknown
To mankind shall be revealed
To the soul that welcomes his:
“All-consuming love”
