My Lord

Let me understand the mystery of your passion
Your suffering exalt me from the world
and raise me into heaven

Which of your wounds bears my name?
And which opened flesh carry the mark of my sins?

How many times have I scourge you?
And how often have I nailed you to the cross?

I desire to love you, oh Lord
But LOVE I do not have
For You are LOVE itself!

So send Your Holy Spirit unto me
Without You, there is no LOVE
and there is no LIFE

Please let me bear the scars and wounds
Such that I can glimpse the extent of Your love

If I were to be Yours
Strengthen me from all temptations
and make me worthy of Your love
