Love, my heart longs day and night
For the meeting with you -- for the meeting
That is like all devouring death

Sweep me away like a storm;
Take everything I have;
Break open my sleep and plunder my dreams
Rob me of my world

In that devastation, in the utter nakedness of spirit
Let us become one in beauty
Alas for my vain desire!
Where is this hope for union
Except in thee, my God?
