Teach me

Teach me

Teach me the art of love
That I may love you
The way you love me

Teach me the art of prayer
That I may adore you
Ceaselessly

Fill my soul with your light
That I may find my way inside
Through the labyrinth of this transient world
And teach me not to hide
May you always be my guide

Teach me the art of thought
That I may know clearly
What is true

Teach me to dive for pearls
That I may offer them
To you

Fill my heart with your grace
That I may build a pyramid of faith
In conjunction with the guiding stars
And teach me not to stray
May I always find my way

Teach me how
To sow the seeds,
And thrash the corn
And cut the reeds
And teach me how
To make myself
A harvest in Thy name

Fill my eyes with your vision
That I may see things as you see them
And fill my cup with your goodness
That I may drink and quench my thirst
May I always stay close to source

Teach her how to make bread
In the furnace of your love

Where the children sit
And warm their souls
And her song is the song of the sun

Fill her heart with your grace
That she may build a pyramid of faith
In conjunction with the celestial skies
That first brought her to this place
May she always find her way
