Absolute Emptiness

I will never

Go back to the world

Not ever

I've tasted His word

It's the taste of

Honey from the honeycomb

This world ain't my home

So I'll never

Not after a taste of forever

Turn again

To the substance of shame

Things are different now

He turned my life around

I am decided

As this world abideth

To maintain a closer walk

With nobody else

But my Lord Jesus

I'll give all and the best

Until there's nothing left

To give of myself

But absolute emptiness

That craves only the fullness

Of the Most High's presence.
