May I love the Lord
with my whole heart,
from the heights of joy, to the depths of sorrow
from the calm peaceful days, to the anger filled storms
may worship issue forth from my whole range of emotions.
May I love the Lord
with my whole mind,
submitting all of my thinking to the Lordship of Christ
taking every thought captive in service to Him alone
may reason, which issues from God, be offered back to Him.
May I love the Lord
with all my strength,
my will bent in obedience to the One who saved me
my hands busied in service to my King
may my love for God be one of action and intention.
May I love the Lord
with all my soul,
from the core of who I am
from the absolute center of my being
may my whole life be given in service to my King.
-a reflection on Mark 12:30
