#NaPoWriMo2019 - What is wanted?

What is wanted?

What is wanted?
Dearest Father, who art thou
That findest time for me
A sinful and worldly soul?
What is that?
Father, it is I, who am born again
Seeking to do thy will that I might
Be worthy of renaming as Abram and Sarai.
What is that?
Father, it is I, a child of goodly parents
Who taught and raised me to serve others,
That all might be raised to a higher place.
What is that?
Father, it is I, a disciple of your son
Who condescended that we might be live,
That the pure in heart may see thee.
What is that?
Father, it is I, whose health is failing,
Whose strength is fading in old age,
Seeking thy approbation for all eternity.
Blessed art thou, my son.
Father, it is I. May I pass through the gate,
May I enter your courts with thanksgiving
Shouting joy and praises to thy name?
