General (Vol. 2)
I give
- I give You my day,
Its joy and its sorrow,
Its work and its play
And plans for tomorrow:
The sudden sharp setbacks and gains unforeseen,
The familiar comfort and soothing routine. - I give You my mind,
Its patterns and power,
May it make me kind
Not judging nor dour:
Its outlook constructive, amending old rules,
Its door always open, admitting new tools. - I give You my heart,
Though it may be weak,
To form and impart
The response that You seek:
May courage be selfless in love for Your sake,
And still brave enough to admit a mistake. - I give you my soul,
Though already Yours,
That it may be whole
In its love of Your cause:
In patience and witness, in action and prayer,
May it always live knowing that You are there.
