Within His love I cannot lose my way,
nor can I fail to seek to do His will.
The human cries shall dominate my mind,
their agonies define my daily task,
no matter what the price, the cost.
The will and way of God is now my own,
the mandate now to speak–to clarify,
to formulate, explain, and emphasize,
to share now of His love–
a love that reaches out to every one,
the worst as well as best.
He calls us all to follow Him.
This is my God,
And He is wonderful beyond compare.
He lifts me to the stars,
and He will hold you, too, within His love.
Open your heart to this Great God!
(August 1967)
