Jesus, you suffered,
and you learned
obedience.
You have seen my adversities,
which compared to yours are
nothing,
but from them, help me
learn obedience--
diligently to love you, to
walk in your ways,
and to hold fast to you,
exulting and rejoicing
in your steadfast love,
as I drink of the water
that you will give me, a
spring of water
gushing up to eternal
life.
