2015.05.22: more than these

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter,* “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” – Jn 21:15

What are these that I love more than my Lord?
Shed the light on me that I may see
Reveal the truth to me that I may repent
Show me wisdom that I may understand
Grant me humility that I may accept
Give me courage to change
Lord, I want to know these now
rather than at the hour of my death
I want to love you more than these

2015.04.27: the Shepherd’s voice

Send forth your light and your fidelity;
they shall lead me on
And bring me to your holy mountain,
to your dwelling-place. – Ps 43:3

 
awake awake o sleeper
the long night has ended
Fidelity has kept safe watch
now the Light awaits to lead

come let’s climb the mountain
God is in his dwelling place
waiting with robe and ring
follow the Shepherd’s voice
