Had

Watch over my steps, if I leave,

Stay close, if I stay,

Make me in this world to rejoice

With those who give from what they don't have,

So that I may discover what treasure

Dwells unseen

And in me, Lord, when I complain

That all I gather is not enough for me,

Only if I offer myself as a gift

To the forgotten, to the deprived,

I can share myself endlessly.
