Poem 26
Lord, how precious is Your Sanctuary to me
But we neglect Your presence there
This is the situation of our soul
Come Lord, to live and abide in us
Lord, You are the prisoner of love in the Tabernacle
You come to visit us in the form of Bread
Which You share with those whom You love
You welcome anyone who approaches You with repentance
Lord, how can I love You wholeheartedly?
Make my heart like Yours to love You
Lord abide in me to carry Your love in my heart
Cleanse my heart by Your Precious Blood
Lord You are living in the Mighty Body of the Church
As well as living in those humble and pure of heart
Lord I look into your heart to seek a place to live
To abide in your love and in life everlasting.
Lord I love Your Sanctuary where you reside
But we, our wretched hearts do not value Your presence
I see, David Your servant honor You in everything he did
God You found in David a man after Your own heart,
Lord I am weak and lowly and not worthy of anything good
But You chose me from the ends of the earth
Where no one lives according to your will,
Everyone choosing their own ways for salvation
You are my salvation my Lord and my God
You never abandoned me even when I lived in the desert
But Your love carries me on even though I am a lonely traveler.
Lord, how long, how long must I travel to reach You eternally
