Come Be My Light (Mother Teresa)

Refrain:
Come be my light, come and shine in the homes of the poor.
Come be my light, for I cannot go there alone.
Come be my light, for the poor will then know me in you.

What you ask, O my Jesus, calls for more than I can bear.
I am weak , O my Jesus, find a stronger soul than mine. (ref)

I’m afraid, O my Jesus, do not let me be deceived.
Give me light, O my Jesus, send your Spirit as my help. (ref)

I am yours, O my Jesus, do whatever is your wish.
What you take, O my Jesus, is the reason for my love. (ref)

In your thirst, O my Jesus, for the souls your heart desires.
You reach out, O my Jesus, through my hands and through my words. (ref)

Let me share, O my Jesus, in the suff’ring of the poor.
Only then, O my Jesus, will my work reveal your face. (ref)
