O Word! O Christ!

You're so handsome!
You're so tall!
Who will ever truly know you?
Who will be able to understand you?
Grant, O Christ, that I may know You
and that I love you.
Since you are the light,
let a ray of that divine light shine through
on my poor soul, so that I may see you
and understand you.
Fill me with great faith in you
so that all your words may be for me
so many lights that illuminate me
and lead me to you,
and follow you, wherever you go
justice and truth.

O Christ! O Word!

You are my Lord
and my one and only Master.
Go ahead, I want to hear what you have to say
and put your words into action.
I want to listen to your divine word,
because I know it comes from heaven.
I want to listen to it, reflect on it,
put it into practice,
because in your word
There is life, joy, peace, and happiness.
Speak, Lord,
You are my Lord and my Master
and I only want to listen to you.
