I Am Yours, Born for You (St. Teresa of Ávila)

I am yours, and born for you. What do you want of me? Sovereign Majesty, eternal Wisdom, Goodness gracious to my soul, God most high, one Being good, behold this great vileness: today I sing my love to you. What do you want of me? Give me death, or give me life; give me sickness, or give me health; give me honour, or dishonour; give me war, or give me peace; weakness or full strength — to all of it I say yes. What do you want of me?
