Oh God,

Your goodness--oh my goodness!

My goodness is nothing compared to your goodness.

You transfuse Grace and Love into our lives, through your own shed blood

You are the Great Phlebotomist!

Oh Great Phlebotomist, how simply you give of yourself to me.

And how difficult I make it!

Contriving and Striving

I try to make this thing called Life-In-You work
[my way]

oh how I fail!
And how weak it makes me!

Oh Great Phlebotomist, transfuse new life into me

Make me a cleaner, better, wholler (holier) person
[please]

Help me not be offended when others hurt me

Help me give your Hope to the hopeless
Your Love to the loveless
Your Grace to the graceless

Please keep your children warm and safe-in-you tonight.

Amen.
