A book of prayers to the Holy Face of Jesus

For Rich or Poor

For Rich or Poor 

———–

Lord Teach me how to be abased, how to be abound.

In abundance and in want I still hear the precious sound.

Of your voice inside my heart, of your heart that gives me peace.

Let go of all that binds me, so I can find release.

From a world that chains me to desires.

Of power, pride and flaunting

a fleeting grasp at happiness

that only leaves me wanting.

I reach out for you Lord, with a faith that few can see.

Because I know that I can do all things

through Christ who strengthens me.

 

“I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”  Philippians 4:12-13.
