Magnificent Obsession Poem by Amanda Pearson

Lord
Show me how much You love me in the midst of myself
I long to know You as my friend as well as my Father and Creator
I want my personal relationship to be an authentic love relationship where I know You desire and want me

Am I Your magnificent obsession?

Oh Lord, You searched me out when I was so lost and afraid

The splendor of Your creation You made to fulfill the deepest desires of my soul
You knew it would bring me great joy, so You formed it
You knew it would inspire me, so You painted it
You knew it would draw me in to You, so You spoke it into existence

No human word could ever detail how much you love me
