How long has this been going on...

Living Flame of Love

O Living Flame of Love...
How Gently and how lovingly
Thou wakes in my bosom,
Where alone thou secretly dwellest;
And in Thy sweet breathing
Full of grace and glory,
How tenderly Thou fillest me with Thy love

St. John of the Cross

A Better Resurrection

by Christina Rosetti

(1830-1894)

HAVE no wit, no words, no tears;
My heart within me like a stone
Is numb'd too much for hopes or fears;
Look right, look left, I dwell alone;
I lift mine eyes, but dimm'd with grief
No everlasting hills I see;
My life is in the falling leaf:
O Jesus, quicken me.

My life is like a faded leaf,
My harvest dwindled to a husk:
Truly my life is void and brief
And tedious in the barren dusk;
My life is like a frozen thing,
No bud nor greenness can I see:
Yet rise it shall--the sap of Spring;
O Jesus, rise in me.

My life is like a broken bowl,
A broken bowl that cannot hold
One drop of water for my soul
Or cordial in the searching cold;
Cast in the fire the perish'd thing;
Melt and remould it, till it be
A royal cup for Him, my King:
O Jesus, drink of me.

Sweet desire...

Kiss me and kiss me again,
for your love is sweeter than wine.
How fragrant your cologne;
your name is like its spreading fragrance.
No wonder all the young women love you!
Take me with you; come, let’s run!
The king has brought me into his bedroom.

Song of Solomon 1:2-4

Song of the year- "Ella baila sola"

The very thought of you...

The very thought of you
And I forget to do
The little ordinary things
That everyone ought to do

I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish, though it may seem to me
That's everything

The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know
How slow the moments go
Til I'm near to you

I see your face in every flower
You're eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my Love

The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know
How slow the moments go
Til I'm near to you

I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my Love.

El Triste

Amazing song and interpretation. Kalimba is indeed one of the best singers we have in Mexico.
