One Soul's Prayer

Dance with me, joy...
fill my days with your songs.
Love, life, and laughter your wine.
Nourish me, hope...
when parched and pale, I hunger.
Whisper your secrets divine.

Awaken me, knowledge...
your light vanquishing darkness.
Banish the fears that pursue.
Uplift me, faith...
to soar on tensile-strengthed wings.
Magnificent, each of your hues.

Empower me, peace...
with gifts of understanding.
Serenity's truth your treasure.
Infuse me, courage...
throughout my days, perservere.
Lives' worths are by honor measured.

Heal me, love...
given freely, thus received.
Your touch soothes the pain of all wounds.
Cradle me, life...
arms supportive, yet yielding.
Embrace me beyond, unentombed.

Abide with me, God...
let me stray not from Your sight.
Eternity beats in Your heart.
Claim me, Heaven...
when earthly sojourns conclude.
If earned, let me end where you start.
