SPEAK TO ME, LORD
HELP ME ERASE ALL WORLDLY THOUGHTS
AND SET ASIDE MY HUMAN FAULTS
THAT I MAY HEAR, LORD, WHAT YOU SAY
AND DO WHAT YOU REQUEST TODAY.
SPEAK TO ME, LORD, AS I AWAIT
TO HEAR THE WORDS THAT BIND MY FAITH.
I’LL HASTEN NOT WHAT YOU PROCLAIM
BUT WAIT IN SILENCE AND PRAISE YOUR NAME.
I KNOW, DEAR LORD, THAT I’LL HAVE DAYS
WHEN MY MIND WANDERS TO CAUSE DELAYS.
YOU KNOW ME, LORD, BETTER THAN I
HELP ME BE PATIENT FOR YOUR REPLY.
AND WHEN I HEAR THE WORDS YOU SPEAK,
LET ME BE HUMBLE, LET ME BE MEEK.
LET ME NOT DOUBT YOUR POWER, LORD;
LET ME ACCEPT YOUR HOLY WORD.
LORD, LET ME LIVE ALL THAT YOU TEACH
AND SHARE YOUR WISDOM, I BESEECH.
LORD, AS YOU SHOW ME WHAT TO DO,
TEACH ME, DEAR LORD, TO BE LIKE YOU.
“THY WILL BE DONE”
