Every Word

I wonder if a selfish thought
Or act I did today,
Might have slighted someone else,
Or rubbed them the wrong way.

Only God can know for sure,
Whom I will chance to meet,
And He can help me make the most
Of opportunity.

Lord, I pray that you will guide
Each step I take from here.
May every word and little thought,
Be those You want to hear.
