In you

I wrote this poem in Taize after my small group had been considering what it is to live ‘in’ Christ. We noted that there was a difference between living with Christ and living in Christ but we weren’t entirely sure what this meant. I wrote this prayer/poem in response to our desire, so that we might discover what it really means to live in Christ.

O Lord you bless me when I come to you,
You sooth me when I sit in your presence,
You delight in me and sing over me.
You are my restoration.
Lord may I be in your more.

May I learn to rest in you,
To delight in you,
To grow in you,
And to love in you.
May I take pride in you,
Respect in you, and discover in you.

Lord, may I eternally reside in you.
