You know better than I how much I love you, Lord.
You know it and I know it not,
For nothing is more hidden from me
Than the depths of my own heart.
I desire to love you; I fear that I do not love you enough.
I beseech you to grant me the fullness of pure love.
Behold my desire; you have given it to me.
Behold in your creature what you have placed there.
O God, you love me enough to inspire me to love you forever;
Behold not my sins--
Behold instead your mercy and my love.
Amen.
