Your Love Runs Deep

Your Love Runs Deep by Courtney L. Clayton

Your love runs deep
Deep within my soul
A tear roles from my cheek to yours
And I am touched.

Your love runs deep
Like vast oceans
Full of God’s great creation
And I am full

Your love runs deep
Deep like the cry of newborn babies
Fresh from mama’s womb
And I am moved

Your love runs deep
From within my breast
The beat of this heart is now turned toward you
And I am consumed

Your love runs deep
Deeper than the color of any skin
Deeper than the pains inflicted by peers
Deeper than the sin of my past, present and future
And I am comforted

I am so grateful that
Your love runs deep.

And by the depth of your loveI am touched and
I am full and
I am moved and
I am consumed and
I am comforted and

I am
And I am
And I am

Finding out new ways to
View you
See you and
Internalize you

Teach me the depth of your love
I am so grateful that
Your love runs deep.

SLEEP (Does it exist) ... Life now consists of naps

Lawd, Lawd, Lawd. I stretch my hand to thee. I have been engaging in this semester 17 days now total (13 school days) and have not gone to bed one night before 2:00 AM. I guess a lack of sleep comes with the call, hugh. Jesus keep me away. Help me to retain!

The work hours of a seminary student 6:30 AM – 2:00 AM. This is more than a job, it must be a calling!

That is sick!

Calvin pierced my soul

"For how can the thought of God penetrate your mind without your realizing immediately that, since you are His handiwork, you have been made over and bound to His command by right of creation, that you owe your life to Him?--that whatever you undertake, whatever you do, ought to be ascribed to Him?"

~ John Calvin, The Institutes of the Christian Religion (I.ii.42)
