"A Vessel Of Mercy"

Lord make me a channel of your peace
When I am depressed show me compassion
And do it with ease.

Let me see that there
is more in life than just me
Fill me to the brim
and only mercy let me see.

Open me up and let my light shine
For other peoples problems
are greater than mine.

Where there is hope let me show love
Please make me a good listener and let me
witness about God up above.

Send me the strength to face every
trial that comes into my life
Let fortitude come first instead of strife.

Lord, break me down
and make me humble
Everyone sometimes
falls and takes a tumble..

Take away that stubborn nature
that keeps me tied down
Lift me up and plant my feet
on solid ground.

I want to be all that you want me to be
My service is your desire
Give me Angel wings
and let me fly a little higher.

Father, make me a vessel that's true
fill me with love and compassion
And fashion my heart to be
a vessel worthy of you.
