Continuing in Setting Hearts on Fire, this is Michael Mangan’s take on this famous prayer.
St Teresa’s Prayer
Words & music: Michael ManganChrist has no body now but mine,
No hands, no feet on earth but mine.
Christ has no body now but mine.
Let me be Christ, let me shine.1 Mine are the eyes with which he looks,
Looks with love upon this world.
Mine are the feet with which he walks,
Walks to do good in this world.2 Mine are the hands with which he works,
Works for peace here in this world.
Mine is the voice with which he speaks,
Speaks his message to this world.3 Mine is the face with which he smiles,
Smiles a welcome to this world.
Mine is the heart with which he loves,
Loves all people in this world.
