Empty Space (Prayer of the Heart of Jesus)

Music & Lyrics by Manoling Francisco, SJ and Johnny Go, SJ

RESPONSE TO THE PRAYER OF THE HEART OF JESUS

Dare I believe what I hear
A missing part
in Your yearning heart
is me?

How did this come to be
You Who I long to see
Your heart is ablaze
for me?

Never did I imagine a whisper
so gentle yet I quiver.

Yours is the song
and mine a gasp and a tear.

For Your love
takes my breath away
that tears are my only reply.

Now
what does it matter?
I have all I can ever desire.

You love me forever.

Your night has led me
through the cold
to the dawn of Your fire.
