Hello everyone, just a quick update: I’m slowly recovering from my surgery at home, and have started to write again. This prayer is fresh from yesterday morning, with further work to complete it today XXXXX
In myself, I’m nothing, Lord,
For I am but a dream;
Yet I can love you, Father God,
The One who rules supreme.
In myself, I’m nothing, Lord,
For I am less than dust;
Yet I can honour Mary, Lord,
Who gave you all her trust.
In myself, I’m nothing, Lord,
And few will mourn my loss;
Yet I can serve your only Son,
Who died upon the cross.
In myself, I’m nothing, Lord,
For I am very weak;
Yet I can host your Spirit, Lord,
For blessed are the meek.
