Give Me Strength

Heavenly Father give me strength

When I face the world each day,

For what I do is in your best interest

And a different path I do not stray

Give me strength to use my mind

My feet and hands as well,

Let my heart be my guide toward mankind

So I never feel they should be in Hell

Give me courage to stand alone

If blame comes down on me,

Give me wisdom to understand

And any doubts I will set free

Heavenly Father give me strength

To have patients and be kind,

Please guide me through this new day

And leave yesterday far behind

Give me serendipity

Besides for what I already know,

For we're never old enough to learn

Or blind enough to show

Give me strength to realize

This is not a perfect world,

For every stone that is placed for peace

Another will be hurled

Give me strength not to criticize

Or form opinions from idle talk,

Give me strength so I may turn

Away from it and walk

Heavenly Father give me strength

To be thankful for this day,

For when it's finished and almost over

I will lie down and gently say:

"Heavenly Father give me strength"
