You have chosen me to be--
You have drawn me to your wonder,
You have set your sign on me.
2 Like a mother, you enfold me,
Hold my life within your own,
Feed me with your very body,
Form me of your flesh and bone.
3 Like a father, you protect me,
Teach me the discerning eye,
Hoist me up upon your shoulder,
Let me see the world from high.
4 Friend and lover, in your closeness
I am known and held and blessed:
in your promise is my comfort,
in your presence I may rest.
5 Loving Spirit, Holy Spirit,
You have chosen me to be--
You have drawn me to your wonder,
You have set your sign on me. Topics: Comfort, Rest; Pentecost, The Holy Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: BETH
