Abba

From the innermost part of You
I was born, and with Your
first thought of me, I was Yours.
You wrote my name in the Book of Life
and claimed me.
Father, I am Yours.
Make me the instrument of Your will.
Do with me as You will
On earth as well as in Heaven.

Show me Your ways, my Beloved.
Teach me Your path.
Lead me in Your truth and guide me.
I wait day and night for You.
Remember, O Jehovah
Your shining light and loving heart;
For it has ever been Your will
To bring the least of Your children to You.
