Life in the spirit brings me through.
Life in the spirit makes all things new.
Each day our romance
Makes my heart dance
As never before.

I never before knew the ecstasy of His kiss.
I never before knew life could be like this.
Each day our romance
Makes my heart dance
As never before.

From glory to glory my heart is on fire.
From glory to glory He lifts me higher.
Each day our romance
Makes my heart dance
As never before.

Each day my longing to know grows stronger.
Each day my waiting in prayer grows longer.
Each day our romance
Makes my heart dance
As never before.

In Christ I live and move and have my being.
In Christ the eyes of my spirit begin seeing.
Each day our romance
Makes my heart dance
As never before.

No words can express this longing inside.
No words explain the flood of loves tide.
Each day our romance
Makes my heart dance
As never before.

Hearing His voice so tender and mild.
Hearing His call, “Come higher my child.”
Each day our romance
Makes my heart dance
As never before.

In Him I’ve found all my desire.
In Him I’ve been lifted up higher and higher.
Each day our romance
Makes my heart dance
As never before.

My life’s now a dance with Life Himself.
My life’s a romance, a story to tell.
Each day our romance
Makes my heart dance
As never before.

Lovely poem! I like the structure; it feels like a song, which makes the 'dance' theme come alive.

When you have verse that's carefully structured like this, it will be at its strongest when the meter is matched in all the stanzas. Your refrain is beautiful; how about matching the first two lines in each stanza by deciding how many "beats" in the meter and sticking to it? (It's funny how a little discipline with that will make you dig for fresh ways of saying the thought, too!)

Your last stanza shines: "My life’s now a dance with Life Himself." Great stuff!
