Empty me, Father,
And fill me with Christ,
So I will be ready
For each sacrifice.
Empty me, Father,
And fill me with prayer,
So I will be ready
To give, and to care.
Empty me, Father,
And fill me with love,
So I will be ready
For heaven above.
Empty me, Father,
And fill me with grace,
So I will be ready
To gaze on your face.
