Shine, sanctifier supreme, sacrificing

All association with the Almighty, and

Close companionship with the Creator.

Redeemer, relishing real relationships;

Enter into intimate indwelling in each

Devout disciple desiring divine destiny.

Bring bounteous blessings - bestow!

Offering of own self, entire, openhearted;

Delivering us by a dreadful death - redo

Your yeast-grace in our souls' yearning.

Anaphoric agape, all needs answered;

No greater friend, never known to fail;

Delighting in dealing deep-healing deeds.

Body broken to build better bonds by

Loving life-lesson, leaving us light and

Oneness, in overabundant self-offering,

Ordained and ordered with no out-clause:

Do not deny Your dear-bought dividend.
