Ever Deeper Roots in Love by Brother David Steindl-Rast

You, from whom we come And to whom we go, Unchanging love, You give us time for change and growth In this time of great change in my life, please, give me courage to change and grow and cheerfulness amidst growing-pain. Let me take ever deeper roots in love Make me faithful without clinging And let me remain faithful in letting go. Into your hands I lay my life And the lives of all whom I love. Amen.
