"My soul's desire is to see the face of God,
and to rest in his house.
My soul's desire is to study the scriptures,
and to learn the ways of God.
My soul's desire is to be freed from all fear and sadness,
and to share Christ's risen life.
My soul's desire is to imitate my King,
and to sing his praises always.
My soul's desire is to enter the gates of heaven,
and to gaze upon the light that shines forever.
Dear Lord, you alone know what my soul truly desires,
and you alone can satisfy those desires."
Celtic Prayers: Robert Van De Weyer, Abingdon Press,1997. Pg 37.
