Blessed Will

Lord keep us in your holy presence

Keep us in the center of your will

Lord  tune our hearts to give you reverence

Give us your peace and make us still

Lord give us grace to keep us humble

Lord give us strength to conquer fear

Lord pick us up whene're we stumble

Give us the power to persevere.

The bruised reed he shall not break but we must learn to bend

For those who run the race must run it to the end

To gain a crown of victory we must learn to depend

To embrace the blessed will of  our faithful friend.

Lord keep our souls from growing weary

Renew our hearts refresh the lame

Let us ne're trust in any worldly theory

That would take glory from your name.
