show me the place

While I look for my place in the world

show me where I belong.

If you want to send me someplace else,

I will go.

Wherever you send me

I will go to give and receive love—

and if I am already in the place you want,

I will remain right here to give and receive love.

Just let me be in the place of your choosing, Lord—

a place where I cannot rise too high,

nor sink too low—

a place where I am able to work and rest,

to play and pray,

to know and be known.

Help me honor my limits, Lord.

When I worry about

my natural boundaries,

may my heart go deeper into yours.

Send me not

from your sending heart,

let me be present

to your loving presence

in every place

at every time

for everyone

and everything

in creation.

My dwelling place—

your joy poured out

for thirsty souls.

My home—

your gathering song.
