Sweet Jesus
As I come into prayer
I breathe in your presence
The scent of perfume
As frankincense and myrrh
I drink in your complete wonder
I am awestruck by you
I sense I am one with you
You in me and I in you
And we are one with the Father
I feel as though I am with you
At the right hand of the Father
Where you are making intercession
For the needs of those you have entrusted to my care
I lay them at your feet
They are like crushed rose pedals
You then infuse new life into them
Recreating a thing of beauty
No longer crushed but whole
Your sweet essence emanating
Through the flower of their lives
And they are restored to fullness of life
