Father, Mentor

Oh, nurturing father
Touch your fingers oh so gently to my brow
Comfort me, and bravely vanquish all my fear
Call me in the now
Oh, generous father
Inhale your truth and slowly fill my lungs
Let your voice oh so softly in my ear
Whisper to me in tongues
In nomine diaboli, take my hands
Magnet me, teach me the ways of the father
Follow your lead, lead from me
I am fond of your ways

Father, mentor, nurture this child
Father, mentor, entrench me with your call

Your affection is the feast in which I crave
I am your ardent, your faithful, your devout slave
Your guiding hand, lead me down the path of kings
Counsel and mentor, enlighten me in your ways

Oh benevolent father
Embrace me in your wings and lift me from the ground
Bestow upon me the brilliance of your word
Prepare your pupil for the throne
Summum Rerum
Embrace this orphan and usher me from astray
Water me with your wisdom and shower me in your grace

Father, mentor, nurture this child
Father, mentor, entrench me with your call

Your affection is the feast in which I crave
I am your ardent, your faithful, your devout slave
Your guiding hand, lead me down the path of kings
Counsel and mentor, enlighten me in your ways

Oh, esteemed father
Possess my being with allure of a thousand years
Without your grace I am incomplete
Make me whole
