May Your divine life grow apace;
Little by little, day by day, to grow
More and more, into You.

Day by day, bit by bit, life will grow as is fit,
Increasing gradually until,
However imperceptibly,
Your life matures within me.

Drawing each breath of life from You, Lord;
Knowing that every day while I breathe,
Your life will permeate me.

A member of His body.

Manifested people.
