(meditation from Matthew 18:1-5)
A child, O Lord, I must become
Small, humble; ambition for none
To possess the need to depend
To be so weak only you will defend.
O, Father, make me little again
That I may grow in grace to hate my sin.
In this heart of mine restore
The wonder of the simple, Lord.
Break my pride, my strong willed heart
Drive foolishness from my earthly parts.
May it be no longer “I” that lives,
Thy blood and body which pardon gives.
A child, O Lord, I must be
If I will possess all you have for me.
Trusting, seeking, believing all
Serving the least wherever the call.
