"I Am Yours"

I borrowed this from a friend. I think it is a beautiful poem! Enjoy.

I Am Yours

I am Yours and born for You
What do You want of me?

Yours, You made me
Yours, You saved me
Yours, You endured me
Yours, You called me
Yours, You awaited me
Yours, I did not stray
What do You want of me?

In Your hand
I place my heart
Body, life and soul
Deep feelings and affections mine
Spouse - Redeemer Sweet
Myself offered now to You.
What do You want of me?

Give me wealth or want
Delight or distress
Happiness or gloominess
Heaven or hell
Sweet life, sun unveiled
To You I give all.
What do You want of me?

Yours I am, for You I was born.
What do You want of me?

A Poem by St. Teresa of Avila
