Congregate in my heart, O Lord
joy and peace
forgiveness and giving
a lightness in my bearing
a turning toward heaven.
Congregate in my heart, O Lord
love for others
compassion and caring
right decision
a measure of courage.
Congregate in my heart, O Lord
a passion for truth
a growing understanding
that wherever I may be
You may be found.
Congregate in my heart, O Lord
the vastness You create
that You encompass
the uncountable heavens
the earth below
all creatures and their kind
a multitude of congregations in praise
and this small heart of mine.
