SAINT FRANCIS DE SALES I Am Thine, Lord I am thine, Lord, and am to belong to none but to thee. My soul is thine, and ought not to live but by thee; my will is thine, and ought not to love but for thee; my love is thine, and is only to tend to thee. I am to love thee as my First Cause, since I have my being from thee. I am to love thee as my end and center, since I am for thee. I am to love thee more than my own being, since even my being does subsist by thee. I am to love thee more than myself, since I am wholly thine and in thee.
