Poetry for the soul: To The Sacred Heart of Jesus

Oh Sacred heart of Jesus
Wounded by love of man
I've treated you all too badly
I've heeded not your love

By my many sins pierced
What have I done to love
Which so generously poured
By you o lover of my soul
Yet unappreciated by me
For my life I've too often loved
Wishing not to lay it down
For you my greatest good
While yours you did not spare
For the sake of love
But all that will now change
My life I now surrender
To your tender and loving heart
Never again to be separated
From you my eternal love
I wish to return my soul proclaims
Love for love so greatly offered
But indeed all comes from you
Oh love who is above all
Pierce me with the arrow of your love
And my heart will never fail in love
