I remain unworthy to be called Your own,
yet You love as Your selfless mother
gave devotion and a foundation for a family.
Thank you for my spiritual brothers and sisters
I fail to acknowledge as one of Your Body;
they show new meaning to doubtful thoughts
and restore that flame meant to be glorified
by not a single soul, but many unified children.
I write with so little good to offer up
but I want, with all of me, to know
how to truly love as you daily did so deeply.
Roots of gratitude spring and never cease,
for Your mercy overflows this cup I hold
with blackened lust and crawling sin.
You put me at peace, a comfort for sorrow
and You are precious in my earthly blindness.
How beautiful it is to know and believe
You actually long for us as we dearly need You.
I hate to turn You away oh God,
please extinguish this stubborn wandering
so I can leap into Your Love of promise.
I love You, every waking moment You pour
out blood, body, and flesh that we may receive
You who forgives endlessly.
Thank you for letting me live among a world
where there is light holding back darkness,
may I follow in Your footsteps and find courage
what it truly means to be called Your creation.
You've given everything you ever had, thank You
for making me joyful and capable of wondrous Love.
