Given in abundance Beyond our comprehension From His eternal and divine Heart By the One Who is Love As truly part of Himself To us, His created Neither merited nor earned By effort or time or place From His merciful heart Requiring only openness And willingness to share To and from each as given
In unselfish time and manner By in turn looking to Him With thanks and praise And in accord, sharing this gift With all and each in need Regardless of role and rank
To be treasured as shared Given not as I so determine But freely and without limit To meet my neighbor’s needs Even before those of my own For as He has given, so must I
To make return in thanksgiving That which cannot be earned or lost For this perfect gift is of the One Who created and shaped all And we are clearly called In Him to live and from Him to give
