My Gift to the Christ Child

Lord Jesus, I give you my hands
   to do your work,
I give you my feet
   to go your way.
I give you my eyes
   to see as you see.
I give you my ears
   to hear as your hear.
I give you my tongue
   to speak as you speak.
I give you my heart
   that you may love in me
your Father and all mankind.
   I give you my spirit
   that it may be you who
   prays in me.
I give you my whole self,
   Lord, Jesus that it may be
You who grows, works, loves
   and prays in me. Amen.
