Our Calling

O Lord, let me be an instrument of your love
Hope I can fulfill all you want from me, above
Am I enough to heed your call
As whole as you need me to be, for all
May I please you and be what you had in mind
Fight as I might, I hide from you
fortunately, me, you always do find
May I be deserving to stand in your sight

A creation so sovereign, I want to be so perfect and right
I hope to do You justice, send me where my service is needed
So I can do your work with loving dedication
I am one who wants your unwavering supplication, heeded
Let me be your faithful, willing, creation of peace,love and light
