You Lord are Love.

Teach me how to love whom my heart loves.

Show me how to trust the embrace of Your mysterious ways,

In a faith that moves mountains,

In a vision that sees the beauty of love.

Let me hear Your voice in the silence,

for Your voice is sweet and You are lovely.

The winter is past, the rains are over and gone.

Harden not my heart.

Let love grow in humble soil,

Sowing the seeds of patience and kindness.

Prune any envy or boastfulness, arrogance or rudeness within me.

Allow love to grow without insistence on my own way, without irritableness or resentment.

Your love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but always rejoices in the sunlight of truth.

It is with You God that love bears all things, believes in all things,

hopes for impossible things and endure all things.

Flourish my garden with faith, hope and love as a lily among thorns;

the fragrant bloom is always Your abiding love.

Ah, you are beautiful, my beloved.

Amen
