I give All My Heart

I give All My Heart Saint Teresa of Avila, 1515 - 1582 "I gave all my heart to the Lord of Love, And my life is so completely transformed That my Beloved One has become mine And without a doubt I am his at last. When that tender hunter from paradise Released his piercing arrow at me, My wounded soul fell in his loving arms; And my life is so completely transformed That my Beloved One has become mine And without a doubt I am his at last. He pierced my heart with his arrow of love And made me one with the Lord who made me. This is the only love I have to prove, And my life is so completely transformed That my Beloved One has become mine And without a doubt I am his at last."
