Only say the Word!
(by Reyg Muñoz-Linao)
I am a sinner, I cannot be a saint.
But I am grateful for the Higher Spirit
for leading me to the righteous way.
I may not reach heaven where all the saints reside,
so the best I can do here is make everything right.
To whomever I’ve offended, I’ve hurt and I’ve broken,
these knees will be grounded until you announce absolution.
If my last breath is set off with your clemency unheard,
I’d pray to Him,
“God, please hold me, heal me for I am not of any worth.”
