Receiving

Let me be strong
Let me be brave
In receiving Thy grace
and Thy love.

For it is more than I feel
I can bear
so magnificent in its glory.

Thou art the power and
Light and Mercy
of all things
to come and not yet to come.

I have come to take my place
at your Holy altar,
to light the Eternal Flame of my soul

I stand with offerings of incense
and prayers of praise
Yet I need only to bring myself,
kneeled in truthful surrender.

Amen.
