The Lord Is With Me Forever!

Written by Sr. Marivalda -- Salvador Province

The Lord is with me in joy,
That overflows my being!
He cultivates in me, new hope!

The Lord is with me in the hope
That animates my life!
So that I can find renewed enthusiasm!

The Lord is with me in faith,
It guides and reappoints
To live with freedom and lightness!

The Lord is with me in emptiness,
When it is impossible to believe
So I can recognize your presence in other beings!

The Lord is with me in silence
I am silent so the other can be.
He is for me and I am involved in His presence!

The Lord is with me in conflicts
Releasing me from my prejudices
So I see other sisters with renewed eyes!

The Lord is with me in suffering
as my heart matures
So that I am facing Him as I am,
Without fear and with confidence!
