This photo is of the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania
- a place of pilgrimage
With a prayer You fed the hungry,
With a cry You stilled the storm,
With a look You had compassion
On the desperate and forlorn.
With a touch You healed the leper,
With a shout You raised the dead;
With a word expelled the demons,
With a blessing broke the bread.
Love incarnate, love divine,
Captivate this heart of mine
Till all I do is speak of You.
As a sheep before the shearer
You were silent in your pain;
You endured humiliation
At the hands of those You'd made.
And as hell unleahed its fury
You were lifted on a tree,
Crying, 'Father God, forgive them,
Place their punishment on me.'
Love incarnate, love divine,
Captivate this heart of mine
Till all I do is speak of You.
I will feed the poor and hungry,
I will stand up for the truth;
I will take my cross and follow
To the corners of the earth.
And I ask that you so fill me
With Your peace, Your power, Your breath,
That I never love my life so much
To shrink from facing death.
Love incarnate, love divine,
Captivate this heart of mine
Till all I do is speak of You.
