Help me to be Your servant, Lord,
To do what You’d have me do.
Be helpful and kind, patient and caring;
I can do this only through You.
Your helping hand is always there
To assist when I am not strong.
Your kind words keep me from straying
When someone has done me wrong.
Your patience, oh You’re so patient
With me when I turn ’way from Thee.
You show me You care about me and my life,
So Your glory again I can see.
If I can just be Your servant, Lord,
Then someday when Your face I see,
If You can say, “You’ve done a good job”
It will all be worth it to me.
“Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression.”
—Ps. 19:13 (NIV)
