Sr Teresa Immaculate Poor Lyrics
Poor by Sr Teresa Immaculate
If I gave you my life
How have I become so rich that I'm drowning
I'm longing for your love
But I'm running so far
From the silence where You found me
O I am wealthy, but I'm a beggar too
So come and break these chains, and lead me back to You.
Jesus you call me, so I will strip myself from all that keeps me from loving You
And I won't turn back now, 'cuz You've gone before me and all I need is to follow You
If it were an enemy, I could bear the hurt
But it's you my close companion
Maybe a little heartbreak is all it takes to know
That our hearts are made for You alone
O I am weary but I will trust in You
So come and break my will, and all that's breaking you
Be still my soul, you're in God's hands
Though you're weak and poor you'll fly higher, higher (2x)
Be still, Be still, Be still
How have I become so rich that I'm drowning
I'm longing for your love
But I'm running so far
From the silence where You found me
O I am wealthy, but I'm a beggar too
So come and break these chains, and lead me back to You.
Jesus you call me, so I will strip myself from all that keeps me from loving You
And I won't turn back now, 'cuz You've gone before me and all I need is to follow You
If it were an enemy, I could bear the hurt
But it's you my close companion
Maybe a little heartbreak is all it takes to know
That our hearts are made for You alone
O I am weary but I will trust in You
So come and break my will, and all that's breaking you
Be still my soul, you're in God's hands
Though you're weak and poor you'll fly higher, higher (2x)
Be still, Be still, Be still
