The Gift

Clothe me with your mercy that my heart may melt Clothe me with your light; let your love be felt Clothe me with your peace, we have yet to understand... And when I am called, Lord, clothe me with your joy when before you, I stand ~*~ By Annalise For Verlena's "The Gift" Contest (Anaphora Form) 9/6/14
