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.
