Oh sweet Jesus,
Bind our hearts together
In truth, and love, and virtue.
Grant that we remain pure,
Ever mindful in how we think,
How we speak,
What we do.
Hold us deep within your heart,
Pure compassion
Full of mercy,
Full of truth.
Let your grace
Teach us to love god,
Teach us to love god,
And teach our hands
To do good for others.
Your love is everlasting,
True and pure compassion
The way of Jesus
Compassionate to all He met,
On the road,
By the well,
Within the temple.
Sometimes gentle,
Sometimes strong,
Soft or tough
As needed
Both in body and soul.
Amen.
Nice poetic rhythm for the message.Your repetition makes it sound good too. I like the reference to exact places where Jesus showed compassion in a “soft or tough”way. Your first stanza should be our morning prayer every day. The embroidery is like a gorgeous tapestry and is a good illustration for your poetic prayer.
