What I prize above all else
in this word of ours?
That my love for Christ,
my obedience, so flowers
that I may hear Him say,
"You are much less your own.
I can now, through you,
do more of what
I want to do."
Tell me this will not
be a joy most divine,
to hear the one we love say,
You are Mine."
(For those of us who have
named the name of Christ
in Science divine,
already true.)
But that I may know
and feel more and more
I belong wholly to Him!
====================
"Thine they were, and Thou
gavest them Me."
(John 17:6)
