I'm ready to go

Thanks, Oh God, 

For the privilege to exist in this universe.
Tabernacle for me, skillfully woven with science and dust, 

You gave me in this tiny little home.
From round here, I contemplate the works of your hands.
I never deserved it, it was only your loving grace.
The display of your wisdom has inhibited me.
I'm overwhelmed by your intelligence.
You are admirable, oh God!
It is true, I've gone through paths of joy and suffering.

I haven’t shunned both paths, 

Because you teach me that they are a blessing.
I know the task of forming my character hasn’t been easy for you.
Yes, and I say it again: it’s not been easy!
Because you, dear Lord, decided to do it with love.
In Jesus, your beloved Son, such exalted grace encountered me.
It was all to give me an incorruptible tabernacle.
That allows me to extend my existence next to you forever.
Take me with you, oh God!

I'm ready to go, whenever you are ready for me.
