A Servant’s Prayer

Give me a servant’s heart, O Lord;

A soul that longs for you,

A spirit that daily seeks your will,

And strength to follow through.

Give me ears to listen

To the cries that go unheard,

A mouth that speaks in kindness

And proclaims your perfect word.

Give me eyes to see the things

That grieve your only Son

And hands that reach out for the lost

Until your work is done.

Give me legs that carry me

Swiftly through the race,

And when I’m  finished let me leave

Footprints marked with grace.
