PRAYER POEMS
FOR "GIFTS of the HEART"
Section 3
You
Lift My Soul
You
lift my soul into Your hands,
My soul that
belongs only to You.
Your graces
wash clean the dust and
Attached bits
of the world that cling to me.
Your Breath
of Life warms my soul and frees me.
All darkness
is scattered now by Your Light
That shines
through my transparent soul.
Here, with
You, I will remain, for You are Life.
My soul is
lifted to Your Heart,
That place
where I always wish to be,
That place
where I am always home,
Always free,
always consumed in Your Flame.
All I am melts
into Your Flame of Love,
Touching the
Heart of Life, the Core of Existence.
Let me remain
here, my soul emotes.
Let my love
touch Your Love
At its Source.
The Spirit
in You stirs,
Drawing me
into closer union with You,
My Lord, my
God,
My Source
of all that I am.
Your stirring
inflames my heart with You,
The Source
of my love,
The Heart
of who I am.
My desire
is to stay here with You,
And with You
I will remain for awhile.
As You blend
my soul with all that You are,
With Your
graces, I am renewed,
Drawing in
Your grace,
Breathing
in Your Perfection,
Drinking of
Your Love.
Slowly, gently,
You draw me forth again,
Pouring my
soul out like a waterfall,
You return
me to the place where You want me,
For now, until
You call me home forever.
Refreshed,
renewed, enclosed in Your Love,
Your Flame
ignites from my soul, my heart, to my body
And I, though
here where You want me for now,
Carry the
remembrance of home, in You.
Carry this
place with you, you whisper,
That all will
feel this place, My Heart, in you,
That I may
reach out through you to my loved ones.
My desire
is to draw them closer to Me,
That they
may find their home again in My Heart.
My soul bows
to You, my Lord, Heart of my soul.
Bring
Holy Joy!
Reaching,
stretching, grasping for Your Love,
Your treasures
of joy and peace come tumbling upon me
Covering me
in Your wondrous riches,
Lifting my
heart to Yours!
I touch Your
Sacred Heart with the hands of my love
And sense
something more precious than words can describe!
Your Sacred
Heart, so full of Love and Sorrow,
Moves with
my touch and is changed!!
There, in
Your Kingdom of Eternal Love,
My reaching,
my grasping, my passion
Turns YOUR
Sorrow into JOY!
How tenderly
You move
Touching my
heart, drawing it into Yours.
Every cell
in my body transformed
In Your waterfall
of Joy and Love;
Tasting heaven,
My soul rests
in the Eternal Peace
Of Your embrace.
Sweep
Through My Soul
Your Fire
sweeps through my soul
As Your love
ignites the kindling in my heart.
Your Words,
Your Presence, Your Precious Gifts,
Your intimate
walk in my soul,
All gifts,
all kindling to ignite Your Fire in me.
You have blessed
me with more
Than my heart
can bear;
So, like a
flammable liquid
Spilling over
into life,
So Your graces
overflow in me
And become
Fire with Your Flame.
You place
Your Heartprints in my soul
And watch
me run to them with joy!
The joy You
give, like a white hot fire,
The closer
we get, the more we become
Engulfed in
Your Heart Flame
Until all
that remains is
One Flame,
Undivided.
