Wisdom’s Queen

May Wisdom’s Queen come teach us her true heart
That Holy Spirit we, too, may receive
And ponder in our hearts what He imparts
As with her heart we in her Son believe

May Wisdom in us, as in her, then grow,
While springs of truth well up from her Son’s life
And insight from our hearts to our minds flows—
Its darkness now dispelled by Wisdom’s light.

May Wisdom heart and mind together kit
As contemplation makes us with her one
Who with her Son as Wisdom’s Queen now sits
And lets us Father see with eyes of Son.

May Wisdom’s Queen help us to understand
As in Christ’s Church with her we take our stand.

Vine of Life

I’m like a plant in earthen pot
     That’s not in Eden’s soil;
If I stay here I know I’ll not
    Be free from Satan’s coil.

But then a shovel digs me out—
     Is shaped just like a cross–
Leaves roots of sin and all my doubt;
     I know my life’s not lost.

My branch is now joined to a vine
     That lives in Paradise;
I know I am no longer mine
     For I am joined to Christ.

The fruit from me that He will grow
     Is fruit from Vine of Life;
In me I can His wisdom know
     As virtues give me light.

His light through all are joined to Him,
     Brings new creation’s dawn–
A world that’s free from death and sin,
     The world for which we’ve longed.
