Divine Mercy in My Soul

My child, delight of my heart 

It is from your soul my eyes pray to not part 

O my sweet dove, you are hiding yet I hear you call out my name 

My hands are bound by your love; I am tame 

It is only peace, love, and mercy that I wish to bestow 

An unfathomable mercy and wounds that overflow 

My passion has already won what you continue to suffer through

If only you would take a minute to contemplate what my wounds have done for you 

Your misery does not hinder my merciful tide 

For on the cross it flows from the lance which pierced my side 

Oh child, how your efforts please me; do not be afraid 

For I see every movement which your heart has made 

Why are you so afraid of what I have commanded? 

You say there is a lack of my presence, but my presence was never demanded 

You perceive me as though I am not there 

It is in the secret depths of your heart that I lay bare 

My child, I need you to know once and for all 

I am not an obstacle placed to make you trip and fall 

I have been here waiting to share my suffering with you 

To show you that no one can understand your suffering the way that I do 

Consider who it is to which your heart is so closely bound 

The one whose love never changes; whose love can not be confound 

My beloved, my only wish is that you allow me to give you my best 

My agonizing Heart pouring boundless mercy from the wound in my chest.
