Poem: Fulfilled in His Embrace

Fulfilled in His Embrace

“They shall be satisfied from the abundance of Your house; and You make them drink the stream of Your pleasures.” (Psalms 36:8).

When twilight dims my memories
And time blurs what once was clear,
My soul remains in tranquil depths,
Anchored by love that drew me near.

The Shepherd guides my trembling steps
Through shadowed valleys, raging storms;
His staff my comfort, voice my peace,
His faithful presence keeps me warm.

In whispered moments of the heart,
I sense His breath against my fear;
A quiet joy blooms wild within—
The sacred proof that He is here.

No longer do I walk alone,
No longer do my terrors reign;
My spirit nestles in His palm,
My song ascends through joy and pain.

Let others seek what fades with time;
I’ve found the love that sets me free—
Complete within His vast embrace,
Forever His, eternally.

The translation of the lyric into English:
My Heart Is Fulfilled

“They shall be satisfied from the abundance of Your house; and You make them drink the stream of Your pleasures.” (Psalms 36:8).

My heart will never forget,
Though the months and years pass by.
My soul is stilled and quiet
With countless feelings within,
Because the Lord has loved me.

My life is full of peace,
Each step along this holy path.
Following You without parting,
Passing through life’s many scenes,
By the Lord’s providential grace.

I take refuge in Jesus, unceasingly.
Longing always to be near Him.
My spirit is at peace,
My heart rejoices and is satisfied.
May my heart always be faithful.

I pray that forevermore
I may live in His love.
No longer with any worries,
My heart is fulfilled—
For the Lord has loved me.
