My Jesus, I wait in humble expectation,
For the fulfillment of Your desires for me.

The Father wills,
That You be all in all in me

What will I look like,
When You fully reign in my heart?

How have I distorted Your Image?
How do I hold You at bay?

The most beautiful monstrance,
Without You at its center, is empty.

Shine out of me.
Be the heart of me,

Be Lord of this manor.
Be heart, hearth and home.

Draw the world to Your Table.
Feed the world with your Holy Bread.

Flesh and Blood, You,
Penetrate the Gift of Life.

With ever new hope in me,
You wait to fulfill all You Promise.

You are my Sweet Salvation
Given as unmerited and undeserved gift.

Believing and bowing low,
I am lifted!

Touching the hem of Your garment
My faith finds Your favor.

Holiness of the forgiven sinner,
Live the fullness of Your Life in me.
