In an Instant

I looked into your eyes 

and instantly I loved you.

It  was your pure, Divine essence,

and overwhelming presence,

that threw me. 

It was your sweet tempered, loving nature, 

that moved me.

I looked into your eyes 

and instantly I loved you. 

Inside my head I shied from Thee,

but inside my heart, 

I cried for Thee.

When I looked into your eyes, 

you disentangled me from my pride.

All the stuff I thought I knew,

meant nothing,

here in front of you.

All the stuff I thought I'd done, 

was all your will,

your game,

your fun.

This game I thought I'd played for me, 
was all your plan, 

to help me see. 

That all's your will, 
and that I'm a part of Thee. 

I looked into your eyes 

and you mirrored back my pride,

I'd wasted all this time it seemed 

and I felt hollow deep inside.

I didn't think I'd ever see,

till I stood in front of Thee. 

Then instantly I knew,

you'd come to set me free.

All these doubts and fears inside, 

had always been a lie. 

The truth behind the lies,

was something I had to find. 

When I stood in front of you,

it was in an instant that I knew. 

To finally be free, 

it was my love for me,

I had to see.  

My love for me, 

as Thee, 

could finally set me free. 

It was when I looked into your eyes, 

that I saw what love could be.

That silent and empty stillness,
was flowing infinitely,
from Thee to me.

I looked into your eyes

and instantly I loved you,

It was your pure, Divine essence 

and overwhelming presence,

that moved me. 

It was your love and compassion, 
for every living thing, 
that threw me.
