38.¹⁶

```

My Lord, my Lord, my Lord,

Do give me the capacity

To place at Your Feet

Every morning

My heart's readiness,

My heart's willingness,

My heart's eagerness

And

My heart's happiness.

My Lord, my Lord, my Lord,

Do tell me how

I can claim You as my own,

Very own.

Do tell me how

You can claim me as Your own,

Very own.

"My child,

Give Me what your mind has:

Unwillingness.

If you can give Me

Your mind's unwillingness,

Then you will be able to claim Me

As your own, very own.

"My child,

Give Me what your heart is:

Love.

If you can give Me

Your heart's love,

Then I shall claim you

As My own, very own."
