O GOD! I LOVE YOU!
by: Saint Francis Xavier
My God, I love You!
I love You -
Not that You may in heaven save me,
Nor because those who don't love you,
Must suffer fire eternally
You, dear Jesus, on the cross embraced me,
You bore the nails, the lance,
The thorns, and pains, sweat and agony,
Death itself - and all for one who was
Your enemy.
Why then, O Jesus, should I not love you,
Who have been most loving to me?
Not that in heaven You may save me,
Nor because of some reward for me,
Or lest in hell iI burn eternally.
As you have loved me,
So I love, and will love Thee,
Solely because Thou art my King
And God of my whole being,
Who loved me and suffered so much for me!
