LOVE SONG
Your Beloved One
(Sister Jayne Erickson, OSB 2021)

You call me your beloved one. You hold me in the palm of your hand.
You fill me with your Spirit of life and nothing can separate me from your love.

You know me, my thoughts and my desires. You see me though I try to hide my fears.
You call me into your loving embrace. Oh, nothing can separate me from your love.

And, oh, what joy I find in You, my God, my dearest Friend.
You walk with me no matter where life leads.
And, oh, the peace I realize when I make my home in You

As the love between us flows so rich and free.
You call me to be your ears and eyes, to reach out to be your hands and feet.
You send me to shine your light to the world, to show that nothing can separate us from your love.

And, oh, what joy I find in You, my God, my dearest Friend.
You walk with me no matter where life leads.
And, oh, the peace I realize when I make my home in You
As the love between us flows so rich and free.

You call me your beloved one. You hold me in the palm of your hand.
You fill me with your Spirit of life and nothing can separate me from your love.
Jesus, nothing can separate us from your love.
Amen.

“Our humanity comes to its fullest bloom in giving. We become beautiful people when we give whatever we can give: a smile, a handshake, a kiss, an embrace, a word of love, a present, a part of our life...all of our life.”
