When there was no hope
You saved me
When I could not forgive myself
You forgave me
When I was angry at you or feared you
You stripped me of those lies
When I was thinking about the futility of my life
You blew those thoughts away
When I missed a partner by my side
You showed me the treasures of my soul
When I wanted to abandon my friends
You led me back to them
When I was ashamed of my actions and words
You taught me to laugh
When I was going to speak ill of others
You showed me their splendor
When I was walking happily along the country road
You rejoiced with me
When I dared to look at you
You received me
When I whispered asking for your help
You sent me Your angels
When I wanted to shape myself to be Your servant
You helped me
You’ll guide my steps
If I listen to You
You’ll show me the way
On which I am able to walk
You’ll give me a spouse
That is good for me
Of all your treasures, I ask for a piece of
The kingdom of heaven
To my own heart
I ask for the fire of love
That burns the murky waters
I ask for the flame of wisdom
That reveals the truth
I ask for the sword of power
That I might endure
When I receive these from You
I will be rich
For love is in the heart of God
Wisdom on the lips of God
Power in the hands of God
I AM in your heart
I AM in your words
I AM in your deed
