This is one of my favorite songs from choir and a beautiful prayer as well. I thought I would sing it and share. Nothing fancy here, just my voice and a digital recorder It is based on “Suscipe” (Receive) Prayer of Ignatius of Loyola. The prayer goes like this:

“Take Lord, and receive
all my liberty,
my memory,
my understanding,
and my entire will —
all that I have and call my own.
You have given it
all to me.
To you, Lord,
I return it.
Everything is yours;
do with it
what you will.
Give me only your love
and your grace.
That is enough
for me.”

St. Ignatius of Loyola
