My throbbing heart

My throbbing heart

My throbbing heart has become Your home,
In my chest I have hid Your dwelling place

I have left the world and its pleasures
And abandoned all, so I may live with You

I have no thought nor opinion nor
Any desire but to follow You

And my father Jacob, I know his secret;
I know now how he wrestled You

O kind-heart, how sweet are You,
Mighty above all, feared, O how glorious are you

O mighty One, with a whip in your palm
And your overflowing love makes you cry and weep for us

The world couldn´t contain You, how small it is,
How then can the heart befit You

I have left the world and its pleasures
And abandoned all, so I may live with You

I have left all Lord except You,
In the sojourn of my life I have none but You.

And my thoughts I prevented from wandering,
So wherever you are there my thoughts will be

I have forgotten family and friends,
And also I forgot myself in Your love

I have forgotten all in Your love,
O the heart´s joy, so don´t forsake Your child

You are not far from my spirit that is
In the calmness of silence wait for Your call

Truly in heavens is your dwelling place,
but every heart that lived in love is also your heaven

Here is my eye; I have closed it,
From seeing all so I could see you

And likewise my ear, I have cleared it
From chat of all people, so I could hear Your voice

My Throbbing Heart (2)

In my throbbing heart I have hid Your place,
Deep in my bosom is Your dwelling place.

I have forsaken the world and its pleasures,
And abandoned all so that I may live with You.

I have no desire, nor passion, nor
Have I a thought but to follow You.

And my father Jacob I know his secret,
Now I know how he chased after you.

O kind-heart O how sweet are You!
Mighty and exalted glorious above all

O mighty one with a whip in Your palm,
as Your heart overflows with love for all mankind.

The world is not enough to contain all of You,
How then could my heart compose all of You.

I have forsaken the world and its pleasures,
And abandoned all so that I may live with You.

Lord, I have deserted all but not You,
In the sojourn of my life I have none but You.

And my thoughts I've prevented from wandering
So where ever You are there my thoughts also

I have forgotten my family and my friends,
And even forgot myself for Your love.

I forgot them all in love of You.
O joy of my heart, so don't forget Your child.

You are not far from my soul that awaits
Your visiting call in the calm silence.

Truly You're in heaven, however every
Heart that lived in Your love is also Your heaven.

Here are my eyes and I have closed them
From seeing the world so that I could see You,

And likewise my ears, I have cleared them
From all idle talk, so I could hear Your voice.

In my throbbing heart I have hid Your place,
Deep in my bosom is Your dwelling place.
