He came to bring the Mourners Joy

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a Man love me, he will keep my Words and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our Abode with him.

I will love You, my Strength! I will love You, my Beautiful! I will love You with Deeds and everlasting Desire. I will love, most beautiful Light until my Heart breaks in Death.

I will love You, O Keeper of my Life, as my dearest Friend. I will love and exalt as long as Your eternal Splendor shines upon me. I will love You, Lamb of God, as my dearest Bridegroom.

Alas, that I waited so long before recognizing Your highly praised Beauty. Alas, that I didn’t call You mine sooner, Most High and true Rest. I regret with Sorrow that I awaited so long to show You my Love.

I sought You and did not find You, for I went astray and was Blind. I had turned away from You and followed a false Light. But through Hope and Grace I turned around and now I have seen the true Light.

I thank You the true Sun; Your Radiance has brought me Light. I thank You, heavenly Joy, that You have made me glad and set me Free. I thank Your golden Word, that Your Grace and Mercy have made me Whole.

Keep me on the right Path and do not let me stray. Help me to keep moving Forward and keep me from stumbling. And let Your bright Radiance shine on me, Body and Soul.

Make my Tears sweet with Happiness, fill my Heart with pure Love. Let my Soul bury itself deeply in Your Love. Let my Spirit, Mind and Understanding always turn toward my Treasure: my Lord!

I will love You, my God, my crowning Glory. I will love You without great Rewards; I will love You even when my Needs are great. I will love the Most High until my Heart breaks in Death. Amen.
