Words To Heal

Lord, give me words to heal
The wounded, and bandages
Of hope to cover their scars.
Give me, Lord, a torch of inspiration
To usher someone through
The dark tunnel of despair,
Hands that heal the scars
And dissipate their fears�
Eyes to see beyond the mask
The painted smiles they wear�
Eyes to pierce the veil of pain
And a prayer cloth for their tears.
Give me an ointment of love, a balm
To mend the broken hearts,
A candle of courage to light the path
When the night is dark.
Give me fortitude to fight
A flame of doubt
With a flame of faith�
Courage to tell the world
Of Your amazing grace.
Give me wisdom to differentiate
Between a dream and reality
Discernment to know whatever comes
In my life You�ve allowed to be.
Give me strength to run this race
Though the finish line be far
For I long to be all that You�ve made me
And become everything You are.
