Grant Me O Lord

Grant me, O Lord
A heart with the strength of Samson
To break the barriers of indifference
To the needs of my neighbor;

 A mind with the Wisdom of Solomon
To identify those who hate me
So that I can love them more;

 A soul with the courage of David
To see beyond my wellbeing
To foster the happiness of my neighbor;

 The lips that laugh
Along with my enemies,
A tongue that never tires
Of telling the truth,
And the eyes that see your Will
In everything around me.
