All You Have Given Me

 

 

I love You, Lord.

You embrace me

In our communion

Of Eucharist.

 

I believe in Your love

For the sinner.

I am that sinner.

You come to me.

 

I am empty and poor,

Yet, You make

My poverty Your paradise.

Here I bring to You

All You have given me.

 

Behold Your streaming waters

Tumbling over my rocky ground.

Your light penetrates my depths.

The caverns of my heart

Yield their darkness

To You, O Holy Sun!

 

Sit here beside me in silence,

as praise becomes an uncontainable river within me.

Flow from my humble abode

To water Your thirsting world without.

Delight, O Lord,

At the crashing thunder as majestic waves

Rise before You in a crescendo of thanksgiving.

They pound down upon the shore of my unworthiness.

They ebb and flow

And gather strength as I remember Your Mercies.

All You have given me,

I give now with gratitude.

 

Eagles dance in the air

Above our heads,

Clasping claws holding fast,

Spinning in wedded bliss,

Their flight a symbol

Of our Holy Love.
