Where there is devotion in the heart
True, pure, everlasting,
Full of compassion, kindness,
Generosity, and obedience
A broken and contrite heart,
A heart that wants to do what God wants it to do
And not its own will,
There Christ is.
Where devotion to Christ is pure,
And where there is Christ‑consciousness in the mind,
Full of loving‑kindness,
Full of joy
Let the teachings of Christ be carried out
By all men,
To the best of their abilities
And in the situations they are given.
For this is the oil in the lamp.
Not oil like earthly oil used for cooking,
But the righteous oil of
Devotion in the heart of a person
And Christ‑consciousness in the mind.
This is what God will look for
On the Day of Judgment.
Amen
