More than anything else, God-- and His Godly Children-- long for satisfying Relationship!  May these poems help bring Delight and Maturity into that rapport.

SPIRIT LONGINGS

Give me, O God, a life sincere,
A single eye, a conscience clear,
Clean hands to please You when I pray,
And feet that keep my Savior's way.

Give me serenity of face,
Abounding love, abiding grace,
A fervent witness heaven-sent,
A soul in grief or pain content.

Give me, O God, a purpose pure,
A motive true, a faith secure,
A heart in holy things involved,
A transformed mind, a will resolved.

Give me the kindness suffering brings,
The vision of eternal things,
A spirit true -- all self denied --
That Jesus Christ be glorified.
