Franciscan Sister of Christian Charity Sister Elena Gonzales interviews Community Director Sister Marlita Henseler in this podcast which tells the story of an original inspired song My Everything.
Lyrics: My Everything
Who is Christ to me? HE is my everything.
Who is Christ to me? HE is my all!
Like our Brother Francis, whose life with love did ring,
“My God, My All,” You are MY EVERYTHING!
- It was love Himself who first created me; a part of Him to me was given new. My life would be an empty waste, a nothingness, if it were not, His love within that grew.
- There’s need for me to share MY EVERYTHING; for others, too, are part of Him as well. The Love in me should speak aloud to that in them, and to the world of HIS love we will tell.
- And so as one we’ll win the world with Love; it can’t be done upon this earth alone. The Love that each allows to shine is from one Source, and it is He who to the world is shone.
