I’ve written a new song. It’s a solo meant to be sung as a
communion meditation. One of my former students is going to sing it for the
first time at a Mass in August. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get it posted to
YouTube. I’m going to give you the text here, and would suggest that you use it
as a post-communion prayer yourself. If you can, let me know how it works for
you. Many thanks. The name of the song is “Make Me Yours” and the music and
text are copyright © 2015, Bede Camera O.S.B. and Saint Anselm Abbey.
I come to you O Lord this day, as on so many days before.
I bring to you my joys and sorrows, with faith and with
hope.
Send me, O Lord, your grace this day, the grace I need to
follow you.
I know, O Lord, that you are with me when I call to you.
You feed me, you strengthen me, you heal me.
You give to me your very flesh and blood—
you dwell with me and I find myself in you, O Lord.
Touch my soul, O Lord, as you know how I need.
Give me your mercy and your grace.
Make me new this day, O Lord this day,
Make me yours, O Lord, I pray,
now and forever, O Lord,
today, O Lord.
