Born for glory
I await heaven.
Born to be a saint,
I await the holy me.
Wasted years
Do not daunt.
Nor scarlet sin
Dim the Father’s demand.
With my “yes”,
I enter Your Heart.
With the point of a lance,
The Perfect pours forth perfection.
His glory,
Becomes my glory.
Blood and Water,
And I am born to Life.

Given a choice,
Give me grace
That I might choose
Your holy Will.
by Joann Nelander
You, by Your Presence, O Lord,
Are Light to my darkness.
You are the kiss upon my brow,
The oil upon my head,
The arms of sweet embrace,
The banner over my heart.
You, All Love,
Bless this child of Your magnificent
And magnanimous Mercy.
Day by day.
I find You all about me.
Flowers and fields,
Spread before me
As a welcoming blanket.
Come rest awhile, You invite.
I come and I delight.
