Indeed, it is Christ who lives,
In me,
For me.
When I forget that it is He who gives,
Mercy and grace,
To love Him and Him alone,
Love for all others crumbles into oblivion.
For on my own, what would be my gain?
To give, give all of myself,
If not only that Christ be made known and glorified.
Oh Lord, let it be that I should only want,
With my soul, my life, my all,
To ever only desire to please You
And never to find satisfaction in my own comfort.
Never for one moment may I seek to find a quiet solace for my soul alone,
But that my brothers and sisters and all those around may too,
Come to find their everlasting joy in a life lived with You,
By You,
For You and You alone.
