Mamastery

Cloistered in these walls
My sacrifices hidden
Consecrating life
For my children
This is where God called me
To fulfill my vows
To give my life to Him
As wife and mother now

And drop by drop
Flesh and blood poured out daily
In union with His cross
A mother's martyrdom
A rose unpetalled
Freely for You, Lord
And love is its own reward

My intention buried
Deep like treasure stored
Beauty comes from within
Let it be pure for God
Not by greatness of number
Is God measuring
He counts only what it cost
How sweet is the offering

And drop by drop
Flesh and blood poured out daily
In union with His cross
A mother's martyrdom
A rose unpetalled
Freely for You, Lord
And love is its own reward

The simplicity, the grace
The stability of finding my place
Knowing what He wants of me
Though I'm weak and small to climb
God's ladder soaring high
He stoops down to me

Instead of a prison in my skin
I am at home
In the arms of His mercy
I've been carried to His throne

And drop by drop
Flesh and blood poured out daily
In union with His cross
A mother's martyrdom
A rose unpetalled
Freely for You, Lord
And love is its own
Love is its own
Love is its own reward
