I have never considered myself a song writer or a poet, but this past weekend, I went on a Monastic Experience Retreat at the Carmelite Monastery in Terre Haute, IN. While praying outside on a swing, I was inspired to write this song.
Pendulum of Love
Refrain:
Oh Lord I ask of you now,
will you answer my prayer?
Stop the swinging of my heart,
pierce it with your holy dart.
Oh Lord I ask of you now,
will you guide my life?
I want to answer your call,
hold me tight, may I not fall.
Verse 1:
I'm swinging away Lord,
back and forth I go.
This pendulum of love,
is powered from above.
Verse 2:
When love consumes fear,
I am overcome with peace.
Let the beating of my heart,
pound the rhythm of your love.
Verse 3:
God speaks to my heart,
asking what I desire.
I long to be whole,
mind, body, and soul.
Because my heart is torn,
craving more,
caught in this pendulum of love.
