Faith Purified

Scales on my eyes
A hardened heart
Without you Lord
Not set apart
From this world’s lies
That I’m all alone

Purify me Lord.

As you chip away
Day by day
My heart softens
As You lovingly say,
“Turn your gaze to Me
My dear child”

Have courage.

You are never alone
Humbly lean in
To My Sacred Heart
Heaven on Earth
You’re set apart
Created for greatness

There is work to be done.
