I do not live alone ...
“Make me Thy captive even as the raging sea. What if my waves are restless like its own, Forever pounding an unchanging shore, Forever bounded yet forever free? I live, and yet I do not live alone, I live and ever love Thee more and more. Thou, Who didst bid the raging waves be still, Speak to my heart and bind me to Thy will. Free me from all that holds me fast to earth, Those false entanglements that lure me back From the divine captivity of Thy will. Those fleshly pleasures that even from my birth Clung to my life and made my will grow slack. Make me Thy captive. And lift me as a wave upon the sea That I, Thy prisoner, may at last be free.”
