Pursuing Holiness
Oh my God! Help me find understanding!
And not just of Yourself, also Man,
Let me search for the truth, undemanding,
Or in seeking self-worth in your plan.
Help me see life on Earth with Your values,
Guide me where I should be with Your heart,
Make “to walk in Your way” my decision,
And the servant’s role most favored part.
Let humility grow to be gifting,
And in service discover rewards,
May my poems be read as uplifting,
And life’s symphony heard in their chords.
Let me honor Your Son with each day’s break,
And His name be a rock for my prayers,
May I be faithful witness for Love’s sake,
And reveal Him in all my affairs.
And when night comes, at last, let me thank You,
For the times that You stood by my side,
Mystic ingénue, pursued by Christ's love
May His love for me be all my pride!
