My Desire Poem by Mary Ryan

To know Christ is my only desire
To feel the touch of His nail-scarred
As I kneel in prayer seeking Him
To hear his voice speaking
Love and encouragement to me
As I meditate on His word
The love that I cannot equal
To give up His life for someone like me
My life is nothing if I don't do His will
All I have done will fade away
What I do for Him means everything
To hear his approving words
To know Him more and more
