Poems

A prayer to infinite Love

From the November 1996 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Wonderful Father,
I pray that You make
a home in my heart.
Open the way for me to take,
and help me to start.
I want to understand I'm in Your secret place,
where all is good;
I want to see You face to face,
in full gratitude.
Peace from within and food for the soul
are blessings You give;
So, let my song Your glory reveal—
so let me live.

With new resolve I trust Your power
to guide my action.
Day by day and hour by hour
I grow in compassion.
Step by step Your wisdom unfolds
the right decisions;
More and more to You I hold
in every condition.
Govern my soul and enlighten my heart
with confidence clear,
And I will work to do my part
in humble prayer.
