Sanctus

I am called, today.

The sun lights your kindness in the sky.

I praise you, my Father

and lift your name on high.

Your mercy and your love

lights the hope within my eye—

O holy One

O blessed Son

You are the One who gives

the sunshine and the darkness in my life.

But even in the night-time

I know I cannot hide

from your mercy and your grace

and the care that you provide.

The life you give:

a gift to live.

I place my life, my all—

body, soul and spirit in your hands.

I’ll live for you, my Father

and follow your commands.

A full, self-sacrifice

is all that grace demands.

To die for you

is life anew.
