My courage comes
from you Lord
on my own
I am a coward
and I am selfish
all of my goodness
I owe to your Spirit
within me
through your love
and grace Lord
help me to decrease
that you may increase
within me
may I taste
the sweet fruit
of your divine mercy
and share that fruit
with those about me
until there is nothing left
but Christ
within me
~Robert Van Valkenburgh
