Bless Me, Heavenly Father,
Forgive My Erring Ways.
Grant Me Strength To Serve Thee,
Put Purpose In My Days.

Give Me Understanding,
Enough To Make Me Kind...
So I May Judge All People
With My Heart And Not My Mind.

And Teach Me To Be Patient
In Everything I Do,
Content To Trust Your Wisdom
And To Follow After You.

Help Me When I Falter
And Hear Me When I Pray.
Receive Me In Thy Kingdom
To Dwell With Thee Some Day.
