A Servant's Prayer

When You walked on the earth You saw the needs
Of Your children as they struggled along
But when You looked in their eyes Your compassion and love
Gave them hope and the strength to go on
There are times in my life when I go through so much
And I question Lord why must this be
Then I wait for Your voice and You tenderly say
My child you must trust in Me
Lord if You loved me enough to die
And to rise from the dead again
Create in me a desire to be
Your servant forever - amen
Lord You have shown me in Your own way
How important service must be
When I see someone hurting O Lord let me care
In the same way that You care for me.  Amen
