GIVE ME THE STRENGTH By ... Steve Lucky Lord, I ask You to give me the strength For whatever needs to be done. Problems of tremendous length Need to be completed once begun. Opposition can be numerous and tough Causing me to lose vital ground. I often wonder if I have enough Strength to give courage to everyone around. Attempting to do things on my own Quickly gets me into trouble. Keeping in mind Your patient tone, Things can be done on the double. Whether it is a simple need Or making a difference on a global scale, Holding back the temptation of greed Is best done by letting Your will prevail. Friends and enemies You created Giving them the ability to love. This love needs to be demonstrated By my own actions so it fits me like a glove. As well as strength I would like to know How this strength should be properly used. Even with sufficient willpower I far too easily get confused. Copyright 2003, Steve Lucky
