Oh Jesus, our teacher
Let all things we think, say, and do
Teach us to seek devotion to you
Oh Jesus, our Savior
Let your love grow in our hearts
True kindness and compassion
Grow in the hearts of true Christians,
True Christians grow in truth and virtue.
True worship must be
With devotion and love, because God is Love
With devotion and love, because God is Love
Mercy, because God is merciful
Holiness, because God is Holy, Holy, Holy
God lives in our hearts and minds
We make the most beautiful temples, churches, and shrines
But we must let our heart be a temple and shrine
For the one true God
So let your honesty be in your devotion
Because God wants true and pure worshipers
In all devotion to Jesus and Mary
Because Mary leads us to Jesus and
Jesus to our Father
Amen
Thank you for reminding us of how important it is to be true in the way we worship Jesus and of God’s love, mercy and holiness towards us in return.
ReplyDeleteI read your lovely and instructive poem to Ruth Ann Miller. She said to tell You that she was very impressed and thought it was lovely too. You do more good than you know with these words and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteNoticed a couple of rhymes in this prayer and liked that. Liked the middle stanza’s repetition of the ‘’ because” phrases too.
