Instill
In Me
by
Barbara Philbrook
Father
would you please instill in me,
an exuberance of life for others to see.
Make my
light so shine forth in the dark of this world,
that the way home to you will be unfurled.
Allow
others to see something in me,
that draws them ever closer to thee.
Give me
the words to give relief from pain,
give me the ones that will help to sustain.
Open my
eyes that they may see every need,
then provide the strength I require to proceed.
Teach me
to look at my fellow man with my heart,
blind me to things that would have me set them apart.
Instill in
me what it takes to bring others home,
it breaks my heart that they may be left here alone.
Please
have me react as you would here in my place,
when others look at me may they see a reflection of your
face.
Fill me
with your love Father overflowing constantly,
providing a source otherwise unavailable through me.
Reminding
me constantly that if it were not for you,
I would still be amongst the lost sinners too.
Instill in
me the beckoning call,
let's reach them Father one and all.
