Here is the only "sacrifice" You ask of Your beloved Son; You ask him to
  −
give up all suffering, all sense of loss and sadness, all anxiety and doubt,
  −
and freely let Your Love come streaming in to his awareness, healing him
  −
of pain, and giving him Your Own eternal joy. Such is the "sacrifice" You
  −
ask of me, and one I gladly make; the only "cost" of restoration of Your
  −
memory to me, for the salvation of the world.

And as we pay the debt we owe to truth,--a debt that merely is the letting go

:''Here is the only "sacrifice" You ask of Your beloved Son; You ask him to''
of self-deceptions and of images we worshipped falsely--truth returns to us
+
:''give up all suffering, all sense of loss and sadness, all anxiety and doubt,''
in wholeness and in joy. We are deceived no longer. Love has now returned
+
:''and freely let Your Love come streaming in to his awareness, healing him''
to our awareness. And we are at peace again, for fear has gone and only
+
:''of pain, and giving him Your Own eternal joy. Such is the "sacrifice" You''
love remains

:''ask of me, and one I gladly make; the only "cost" of restoration of Your''
