As his words came forth Their message pierced my soul Not of their beauty nor fierceness But of their love inspiring goal
As I wondered how to reach out To the One who created all Suddenly it became quite clear Understanding came after all
For his longing has never changed The return to home is our aim And time here is to be spent In thanksgiving for his rein
Yet my flawed heart cries out For you again now to forgive My many failures and sins Yet I to others must also give
For your love is ever giving And mine must be so too If I’m ever to journey home It is clear what I must do
I must answer the call The knock on heart’s door When and why not to matter What awaits and is in store
For Your love is for giving Not to hoard nor to hide But to use all ways in praise Not for self nor for pride
And as you have given all to all So too must I humbly give When comes your loving call For it is by your love that I live
Our Father who art in heaven Be with me in this place Hallowed be thy name As I live your love on earth Thy kingdom come and will be done In my life and how I love others On earth as it is in heaven To and through my life Give us this day our daily bread That together we share your love And forgive us our trespasses For you have for all time and always will As we forgive those who trespass against us For your love is meant for our giving And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil That we look away from sin and stay within Embracing your loving heart within
