Dear Sweet Jesus,
Make our hearts into altars
Of love, life, and light.
Make our hearts shrines
Of mercy, kindness, and compassion.
Of joy, peace, patience, and kindness.
For true worship
Begins in the hearts of men.
Bless those whose hearts are pure.
May their hearts be altars
For the Most High God,
Make them compassionate and joyful,
Full of life and love.
Full of life and love.
Wash them clean
In the precious blood of Christ.
And when our hearts become shrines
For God our Father,
And altars for Christ,
May we enter into sacred union
With Christ our King,
Our Savior,
Our Healer,
And our Teacher.
Amen
Lovely words of worship. Will comment more later.
ReplyDeleteLike your statement that our hearts are where true worship of Jesus must originate even though we compare them to physical altars and shrines. It was a good idea to describe what the heart altar must be like to truly worship. Dan said to tell you “hello” also and that it was nice of you to think of them. Beautiful rose background to your embroidered, welcome message.
