I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love
(Romans 8:38; NLT).
1. To contemplation, Lord,
I bring my body –
My weakness, tiredness,
Restlessness and pain.
2. To contemplation, Lord,
I bring my thinking –
My hidden judgements,
Envy and disdain.
3. To contemplation, Lord,
I bring my feelings –
My sorrow, longing,
Anger, guilt, and fear.
4. To contemplation, Lord,
I bring my spirit –
My faith, and hope, and love,
For you are here.
