A Simple & Humble Life
Lord
May I live a simple and humble life
So I may give my earthly riches to the poor and follow you with a pure heart
A pure heart that is not attached to wealth, status, or material goods
May I surrender my desire for human success
May I only be successful in your eyes lord
which is to be like Christ and love others with a pure heart
May I give everything to the poor and follow
Christ in the depths of my soul
Shining his love to all
May I be satisfied with the inner riches of your love, peace and joy

Your ultimate desire is mercy for animals, not sacrifice of animals for human self centeredness
