Set My Heart Free
We hear the Beatitudes calling
Telling us how to be
It’s only now I realize
It also calls for each us
To set our frozen hearts free
Fear and doubt are the culprits
That keep us from letting go
Taught to ignore Spirit’s whispers
By the churches meant to help us grow
They are the blest they tell us
Whose teachings we are to obey
But their teaching often conflict
With the One, who said, “I am the Way”
They are the authority
From their teaching, we must not depart
When it comes to the poor and pained
Where is the love? Where is the heart?
The beatitudes call us to courage
The beatitudes call us to action
To follow the Word in love, not fear
The way to our souls’ satisfaction
My own heart is full of fear and doubt
Though I know It’s not how I should be
So I pray to our Mother for help
For the courage to set my heart free.
