In Love With The Lord

A Prayer for Treasure Worth Possessing

Your love is the only treasure worth possessing. Uplift me in your arms, the child, and while the fearless infant smiled, my happier destiny foretold, leaving leaves of myrtle in my hair – a new freshness with luster all their own. Your kindling edge so vast and absolute has spread God’s truth, and made love expand a theme for angels when they celebrate. They have witnessed your high soul virtues which of winds and waves could speak. From the pure depths, and guarded holy, you inspire me; your very name bespeaks favor divine, exalting human love. I will carry to the stars and to the celestial choirs, and grace your name, you so fair, so sweet, so sensitive. My heart is in your soul.
