THANK YOU, LORD: a sonnet
THANK YOU, LORD: a sonnet


I thank you Lord that you have given me
A body, mind, a soul and tender heart.
Please enable me to clearly see
What duties I must fulfil on my part.

Your bounty is so much overwhelming,
I don’t know how I can repay your debts.
Do not make me leave this world repenting
That I could not rise up from lowly depths.

Lord, kindly change my life into a mould
That makes me an instrument of your peace.
Awaken me so that I may behold
Your omnipresence in mountains and seas.

Grant me that I may in no case afford
To forget you for a moment, O Lord.
