Perfect Charity
===============
w&m: David Haas, 1997
(Song before the Cross)

[Refrain]
Most High, glorious God, enlighten the darkness of my heart;
give me right faith, sure hope, and perfect charity.
Fill me with understanding and knowledge,
that I may fulfill your command.

[Verse 1]
Grant us your humility,
and the fragrance of your most holy Word.
May we in your presence alone
find our joy, which leads us all to you.

[Refrain]

[Verse 2]
You alone take our burdens
and clothe them in the blanket of your love.
May we share the treasure and know
the measure of the glory of your cross.

[Refrain]

[Verse 3]
Save us from our pride,
may we not exalt ourselves over one another.
Help us to seek simplicity,
then we'll know the beauty of the promise that is you.

[Refrain]
