LORD LET ME BE

 Let me be a lamp unto the feet of my brother

That I may help him through the hard times

When rain falls down upon him

Let him know I will lift him up

When his load is too heavy to bear

When his steps are weary

And no comfort can be found

Let me be as a breeze unto the back of my brother

That I may help him through turbulent times

When the world rises up against him

When the waves get too high

And the harbour seems so far away

Let him know I am a safe shore

And will help him to find firmer ground

Let me be an answer to the prayer in my brother's heart

That I may have served some purpose here

Not only to those whom I love

But also to my brothers I have never met

Let me walk each day in the knowledge

That no man ever walks alone, and

Live life to the fullest until the trumpet's last sound.

Lord, Let Me Be...
