He gave us life,
We who are born in sin.
He gives us meaning,
We who are wander lost.
He gave us a mission,
We who forget that mission.

To protect his world.
To love his creation.
To honor him.
To respect ourselves.

We look to him for guidance when we become lost.
We look to him for answers when we become confused.
We look to him for love when we have known.

I look to him for guidance.
I look to him for answers.
I look to him for love.

So when I find them,

I share his love with those around me.
I'm not the only one who is wanting.
I share his answers with those who are asking.
I'm not the only one who is confused.
I share his guidance with those who are lost.
I'm not the only one with a desire to be found.

Know me not for my own actions.
Know me not for my mistakes.
Acknowledge my humanity.
Acknowledge my imperfections.
But also acknowledge that I have done good.
Acknowledge that I do my best to serve him.
Acknowledge that I do my best to do as he would do,
To protect, to guide and to love his creation.
Even as I yearn to be protected guided and loved.
