You Fill My Heart

Probably you have heard about St. Therese of the Child Jesus, the young nun who had inspired a lot of people with her “Little Way”. Sharing to you a beautiful song, inspired by the life of St. Therese, composed by a gifted Jesuit and put into music by another gifted Jesuit. Beautiful indeed is the way to Jesus, no need to complicate things, just do the simple and little ways in glorifying Him.

You Fill My Heart (Prayer of St Therese of the Child Jesus)
Music: Arnel dC Aquino, SJ; Lyrics: Johnny Go, SJ

You fill my heart full with sighs,
Breathless they dance in the sky.
And when You whisper Your sad lullaby,
Tears fill my eyes.

You fill my night full with stars,
Restless my soul seeks Your eyes.
Soon as it shimmers, Your smile in the night,
Dreams fall into flight.

I long to be Your child,
Your song to fill this dark night,
Light for the lost in this lonely exile.
I need to hear Your word,
To be near You in this scarred world
One little sound is a song if it soars in Your heart.

I'll fill your world full with love,
Roses shall rain from the skies.
And as they scatter, gather the flowers
He shall reign in our lives.

As long as you're His child,
His song shall fill your dark night,
Light when you're lost in this lonely exile.
We need to hear His Word.
Would you bleed to heal His scarred world?
Your little thorn is a rose if it grows in His heart.

As long as you believe,
Roses shall rain from the skies.

Grant us O Lord the grace to see and practice your ways in our own little way. Amen.
