O God! You are crushing my life!
This pain of trials does not cease.
You are creating my special Fragrance
Which only I can release.
May I diffuse its sweet aroma
Bottled and etched in my human container.
You are the Master Perfumer!
My atomizer! My Sustainer!
I will wear my selected garment,
Drape it over my pure heart.
As I walk among all people
My fragrance will linger and not depart.
O God! I am your willing vessel!
With your Holy Oil, please refill me!
Daily, I’ll waft of Christianity—
Essence of Eternity!
