Lord

Fill my heart, Lord, with love for all mankind
Open my eyes, Lord, so I may see the needs of others
Strengthen my back, Lord, so I may help with those needs
Use my hands, Lord, to perform loving tasks
Quiet my tongue, Lord, so I speak no hurtful words
Clear my ears, Lord, so I may hear your every word
Lift up my voice, Lord, so I may sing your praises
Bend my knees, Lord, so I may pray unto you
Teach me, Lord, to accept your will
Love me, Lord, that's all I ask for myself
Amen
