GIVE ME A HEART
Lord Jesus,
While I sail on
Over the troubled waters of my life,
Give me the contentment of knowing
That I have, as a compass,
A heart that will bring me to love's harbour.
Give me a HEART OF POVERTY,
Able to love and open up and give myself to others.
Give me a HEART OF PATIENCE,
Able to love and live in hope.
Give me a HEART OF PEACEFULNESS,
Able to love and sow peace in the world.
Give me a HEART OF JUSTICE,
Able to love and measure myself by the standard of justice.
Give me a HEART OF MERCIFULNESS,
Able to love and understand and forgive others.
Give me a HEART OF SENSITIVITY,
Able to love and weep without being discouraged.
Give me a HEART OF PURITY,
Able to love and see God in everyone.
Give me a HEART OF STRENGTH,
Able to love and be faithful unto death.
Give me a HEART TOUCHED BY THE GOSPEL,
Able to love.
