My Prayer

Jesus, Your Son, The only one true Perfect and Holy, Who makes all things new To my spirit bring life, My flesh, execute Please, cleanse my soul, Make me more like You Teach me to be gracious Show me how to be kind I want for good things To fill my mind Let me be patient, Yielding to time I want You to claim me And tell me, "you're mine" I want to have gratitude And be sincere I want for Your voice To stand out in my ear I want to love, And trust without fear I want to always remember That You're always near I don't want to have pride I don't want to be vain I don't want to use For selfish gain I don't want to hurt, I don't want to cause pain I don't want anything evil To be attached to my name I don't want to lie I don't want to cheat I don't want for others To be offended by me I don't want to be arrogant Or a slave to greed I want You to shine through me Whenever I'm seen I don't want to be perfect But perfected in heart, My will at the end, Your will at the start I want to be selfless And just do my part An obedient servant, Recognizing Your art I want life to flourish And peace to abound, For Your angels to cover us And be encamped all around I want grace and mercy To always be found Your Spirit, our messenger, A sweet, gentle sound I offer up all I surrender to You Anything that You ask, I promise, I'll do I pray all is well And is done in truth, That I live for Your glory, Whom it is due
