In the poem, “Morning Prayer,” Rebecca shares the central theme of this collection:
If I can show Jesus to one lonely soul,
Dear Lord, let me do it as my daily goal.
To rescue a lost and lonely soul
And know he won’t enter the gates of Sheol.
This is my wish, Lord, and may it yet be
That I shall bring someone closer to thee.
Closer to thee, Lord, o let it be,
That I shall bring someone closer to thee.
