Mary, she knows
In a world that's dark
Torn apart at the seams
She lifts up her eyes
Up to the skies
And sings
"I am my beloved's
And he loves me as I am"
Sometimes it's hard
Though patiently
You wait for the time to see
Whose are you?
(Tell me)
Whose are you?
I am my beloved's
And he loves me as I am
Light of the world
Please, come shine on me
Sometimes I cry
In a world that's dark
Torn apart at the seams
Sometimes I cry
For I am weak
Light of the world
Please, come shine on me
Reflecting on this some more, I was able to determine the following. Because I am my Beloved's:
- I will not fear mistakes at work or the rebuke and correction of my superiors, for his affection for me is secure.
- I will not be anxious at the deterioration of my wealth from the fluctuations of the economy, for he will grace me with contentment in poverty. Nor will I become greedy at the expansion of the same, for all is from him and belongs to him.
- I will not be grieved in loneliness, for his presence is with me as brother, friend, savior and king.
- While making all good efforts to maintain health, strength and vitality, I will not fear sickness, aging and death, for this veil and earthly tent must fall and I will share in his likeness in glory and resurrection.
- I will be charitable to my neighbor, whom he also loves, while at appropriate times and ways enjoying, rejoicing and giving thanks in his manifold blessings.
- I will continue to pursue the knowledge of and intimacy with Christ, the lover of my soul.
- I will continue to seek to be filled with and controlled by the Spirit, my help and comforter.
- I will continue to fear, honor, glorify and obey the Father, the giver of every good and perfect gift.
- I will not waste my time in idle pursuits, for I am responding to a higher calling worthy of my full attention and efforts.
