To Share With You
Is
to Console You
When-I feel so rejected
I share in Your plight
“The Son of Man came to His own…
And even His own did not care to receive Him” (Jn. 1:11)
Receive my own care day and night
To Thirst With You
Is
to Console You
When-I feel tired and parched
With You may I ache
“I thirst” (Jn. 19:28) for you; “Give me to drink” (Jn. 4:7)
“They gave me dour gall; sour wine for my thirst” (Psalm 69:21)
Your thirst, with my love, may I slake
To Think of You
Is
to Console You
When-I feel so insulted
With You may I pray
“Reproaches have broken my heart…
I looked for just one to console me, but… found none” (Ps. 69:20)
Find me! I’ll console You today
To Cry With You and
To Die With You
Is
to Console You
When-I feel like I’m dying
With You may I cry
“God, why’ve You abandoned me now?” (Ps. 22; Mk. 15:34)
“Into Your hands, Father, I pour my spirit”
O Christ, pour Your SPIRIT…
Your LOVE…
Your LIFE from Your side!
