I am not worthy of this cross
It seems so...
Impossible
Unbearable
yet, it is the only way in which I can love you
they need a father
they need a shepard
Lord grant me this gift
This blessing of your call
This sacrament of salvation
Let me be a sacrifice
Let me be a victim
For the sake of their salvation
May I decrease Lord
So thay you may live in me
i beg you Lord
When I am afraid
Give me courage
When I despair
Give me hope
When I am angry
Give me love
Lord
Grant me the cross of the priesthood

I will walk on water
Once
When my faith is strong
Taking strides,
Balanced on mirrored footsteps,
Watching the sun dance
In tiny ripples

I will try to find my way
To the other side.

Only, just when I come close
I will remember, like St. Peter,
That I am only a man.

Domine ut Videam

I want to give myself to you

For you are my everything

I surrender all of myself
My heart, my mind, my soul
Take me and form me as your own

For you are my everything

You are the ground beneath my feet
And the air that I breathe
Without you I am nothing, I am empty
For you catch me when I fall
And hold me when I cry

You are my everything

Take away all that I have
Strip me of all that I am
Fill me with nothing but your love
Let me give my whole self to you

For you are my everything

I give myself to you
I am yours

For you are my everything

Scourging pains inside

trapped like a desert storm

Lord seeking

Open your scarred hands

To receive thy grace

To enter into your loving presence at thy pace

The narrow road only I follow

To wander to your holy land

To feel the tenderness love of thy hand

Lord my body yearns

To be your beautiful Spouse

In the court of your kingdom forever

In thy sacred house

My heart beating so fervently

As I look upon my Spouse

One whom I seek forever; forever in your house. [/color] [/font]
