My Gracious Lord
Verily gracious* You are, my God and Lord…
Your long suffering to me I cannot fathom
…notwithstanding my service
…that’s unacceptable and sometimes selfishness-driven
You correct my prayerlessness-failure
and chastise me of my vanity cravings…
…for me to reach Your holy standards
making my stewardship fruitfully effective
and ministerial deeds compassionately-wrought.
Such I can’t repay, and never will;
thus, let me live for You, by Your might
as Your Spirit empowers my faith.
*Psalm 103:8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
