Exclusive Devotion

Our lives rush through time just like the wind
like a fire in our souls that burns so bright
and will carry us away from dark to light
breath of spirit from you oh Lord does descend

I have waited so long to hear your voice
I opened the door and let you in
because my life you chose to defend
to walk along side was my willing choice

You have sheltered me from violence by day
my life you have spared so many times
from terror of men an horrible crimes
and iniquity of men who would have their way

Like a child I fell and you lifted me up
led me before the most priceless treasure
whose sharing I can with endless measure
placed a table before me with Son I will sup

You are my Lord before you I bow
through the curtain by hand you have led
shared your table with wine and broke bread
that into your presence you do me allow

My life is yours and exclusive devotion
jubilance and praise do spring from your seed
that which fulfills mankind and our need
whose grace with love our tender emotion

The fullness of truth to us you revealed
the words of your Son have parted our lips
with your own strength you have girded our hips
waiting we are till the last of us sealed

daily we consider all you have taught
loving kindness to others we give
in so sharing in Love they may live
to align body and all of our thought 

Oh so fragile beings are we
communion with you a heartfelt treasure
whose love we receive in endless measure
So easily blinded unable to see

So very little you ask in return
to trust the path you for us chose
with abundant life never to lose
but to walk in your way to learn
