I Will Delight In Thee

Still reading my way through the Salvation Army Songbook, I came to "I know Thee who Thou art", by General Albert Orsborne. Although the language seems archaic now, the poetry is still so moving: beautiful and profound. This verse stuck with me:
Beside thee as I walk,
I will delight in thee
In sweet communion talk
Of all thou art to me;
The beauty of thy face behold
And know thy mercies manifold.
Imagine the spiritual depth that allowed him to write that! Although my experience with cancer is bringing me closer to God, I'm nowhere near that level; I don't even think I aspire to it.

Another thing for me to think about...
