Enable Me With Strength, My Lord

Enable me with strength, my Lord-
In Your praise, in Your name, I do implore!
My life hangs here, in a precarious balance;
So too, my heart, for breaking, perchance!

Mine was amazing and fortuitous, to be sure-
Exalted and amazed, was I-mine own global tour!
Without such, I would not know whereof I do belong;
Without as much, know not would I, how to be strong!

Forever and one day, have I searched for thee-
Seemingly as long as you have been 'away' from me!
Ever luminous, ever so brilliant, such is your guile;
Ever so loving, ever so powerful-all the while!

Whensoever you decide to cease my frustration-
So too then may we recommence our relation's vocation!
