Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bound them about your neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: The Proverbs, Chapter 3:3
____________________________________________
****
I ask, Lord, help me live my life with mercy,
and I promise to fill my days with acts of kindness;
empathy to all, forgiveness will drip from my lips,
I will be gracious, tender, for all my earthly days.
O, Lord, I will speak with honesty and truth,
with unvarnished, factual, authenticity and integrity;
yes, my words will sometimes speak of grim reality,
but always I will give only unadorned honest truths.
I swear that I will bind mercy and truth to my neck,
and wear as a necklace for all the days of my life;
it will be so beautiful that all who see me will know
that I am bless by the Lord in grace and gentleness.
