y el perserverar hasta el fin

April 22,2010

I asked the Lord to call me
to labor in his field.
I showed to him my faith in Christ,
obedience, and zeal;
I fortified the strengths I had
and buried what was weak,

'I promise to give all my good
to gather thy lost sheep.'

Then He, with perfect vision,
looked at my sacrifice
And took what I had hidden
and brought it to the light,

'I give to men their weakness
to make them more like me;
If they will but come humbly
then I will make them free.

I call you to be patient.
I call you to be wise.
I call you to ask pardon,
and to see through others' eyes.
I call you to be selfless.
I call you to stand strong.
I call you to feel charity,
and to quickly forgive wrong.

I call you to be perfect,
but I also beckon you
To let me lift you where you lack
and teach you what to do.

I call you to serve humbly
for your good is not yet best.
Come now and give me all you are,
and I will supply the rest.'
