Help me to be strong, Lord,
As I journey through my life,
Courage to face my problems;
Keeping calm in times of strife.

Teach me to be patient
When my plans have gone astray.
I know that with Your guidance,
You can show me a better way.

Let me be a channel, Lord,
For all the love You show;
Love I can share with others
As along life's path I go.

And when my life is over,
I pray You will smile on me;
Knowing I've always tried
To be the best that I can be.
