(sonnet6)

I have feeble words, a wandering heart,

but Lord, I should like to write you a song.

There are finer offerings than my art,

and angels sing for you, my God, daylong!

But there is no sacrifice more wondrous

than your precious life; no chorus more joy-

ful than salvation; no love more thund'rous

than yours, singing from the cross. I am whole

only in the music of your presence.

No anthems of mine suffice, so Lord, take

all my heart. Unchain it from its sentence;

falter though I may, still I seek your face.


Your great melody unfolds, line by line;

you loved me first— I forever am thine.
