RENEW

Each day, O Lord, my being renew
     With Your death and Your life.
Your glory in me please imbue,
     And through me shine your light.

In me may darkness not abide
     As Your light shines through me,
For in me You Yourself have died
     To make my heart sin free.

Your Sacred Heart now lives inside—
     Transforms my heart within—
As Blood You shed from wounded side
     Is mine—brings life again.

In every Mass Your new life fills
     My heart–renews once more.
In me Your heart is beating still
     As in me new life pours.

May my heart always open be
     To sacrifice You bore;
May my love always bend my knees
     To worship and adore.
