O Divine One

It is You I seek, and this I ask:

Please gift me with an open mind, an open heart,

And with open hands to receive Your blessings

Let my eyes behold, as Yours do

All the wondrous miracles

That each human being embodies

Let my ears hear, as You hear,

The song in each and every human heart

Grant me a spirit that loves all ways, always

And through sacred insight

Have understanding and compassion

For all others

It is You I seek

Let me see in each face, Your face

Let me ….

Gift me please

With holy openness
