Word of life

Living Word,

may your words be

in my mouth

for I cherish you

in my heart—

the Word of grace,

a truth that soothes

every hidden heartache.

Patient Word,

slow down my speech,

measure these words

according to the weight of your glory,

make prayer a simpler exercise.

Finish your work

in your good time,

not mine.

Eternal Word,

you have uttered Today,

gentle as the sunrise—

nightfall diminishes not

your strength.

Though my words

be but shadows,

let them be formed

in the cast of your uncreated light—

shaped by your mercy,

new every morning.
