THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
You are my rock, whom else should
I turn to. You have held me in Your
arms since I was a child, You have
nourished me with all Your abundance.
I have danced in delight before the
one Father who embraced me fully
In his love. Never doubting that you would,
always be close to me.
When I was sick you comforted me,
when I was hungry you fed me,
your living bread. When I needed
knowledge, you made wisdom and
understanding my sisters and the
Holy Spirit, you made my guide. I have
never been without your tender love.
When I fell to the lusts of the world
you corrected me and chastised me as
a dutiful Father should, Your hand has
always been upon me whether for good
or for bad…which was for my good,
that I may learn your ways, and I have
surely been blessed.
You have kept me from my adversaries,
those who sought to make me fall. You
have shown them your power, for you
kept me gently in the palm of your
hands. As you did show that I was
special in your eyes.
I shall always depend on your love
and your strength, and my heart
shall cleave close to your love,
for I desire to be in your presence
all the days of my life.
