Let me know the height of wisdom,
great yet paled against Your heart.
Remember my soul for Your kingdom.
You have chose that grace impart.
Let me see the breadth of heaven,
dwarfed by Your mighty love.
It has borne and purged my leaven,
given to be borne above.
Let me sense the depth of Truth.
I'll hardly know your fervent desire.
In Your precious blood I have my proof,
almost touching a holy fire.
The height, breadth and depth of love,
the unknown is known in spirit.
You made my flesh Your Spirit's glove.
So close my soul can sense and hear it.

Author notes
"For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." - Ephesians 3:14-20

I enjoyed the poem. It flowed freely without any problems, I thought. (Not to mention, what you wrote is true. Yay Jesus!)
Thank you for entering my contest. Good luck to you. I know how hard it is to write a poem on the spot and I appreciate the effort. -
Beautifully done. I like to see writers who aren't ashamed to speak up for the Lord. You did yourself proud with this write. Good luck in the contest. I think I see a winner.

I can hear the voice of worship in this poem. I just love worship and intimacy with the Father. How lovely the flow of words and the background you picked for this poem.

This is such a lovely poem. I like the use of the Browning lines, famous for their expressions of love. I like how you tied them into the poem of love and addmiration. This prayer, flows so beautifully. God Bless!

Awed by the depth of this write ...A call of the spirit to a higher realm than we experience in the natural realm...The poem calls for us to learn this truth... Your author's notes sharing the powerful scripture to back up your scribing ....It is a most evocative and inspirational piece of the Spirit ...All the best in the contest!

So Loved
I want to be His spirit's glove. I hear it as though He is whispering in my ear what I need to do. All I have to do is follow Him to be that glove. That was a very clever way to put our vessels. Great poem as always.

Gloves Can't Move...
...without the Hand inside. Human gloves have wills that need to be submitted to the Hand within.
My money's on you, sis. Just be available to the Lord.

I love this spiritual poem, and the way that you have captured the intense love between God and man. I very rarely read a poem that gives me that warm tingly feeling hehe but this one certainly did. You really captured the peacefulness of faith and grace.
"You made my flesh Your Spirit's glove." beautiful description!
best wishes
