Touched and Filled

Infuse, oh Lord, the prayer I pray today,
the love with which You have at times touched me,
so that, beyond response, it turns my way.
Oh, let a tinge of Your love my love be.

Oh, fill me, permeate me with Your ways,
that I would not care what I gain or lose;
I'd release the reticence that binds my days,
through me, like incense, would Your love diffuse.

A vessel, oh, form me; make me a sponge.
With zeal, oh, Lord, come now, permeate me.
Away reluctance, freely let me plunge,
into Your loving, living family
