Prepare Their Hearts Lord
by Barbara Philbrook

Prepare their hearts Lord as I'm on my way,
and prepare me Lord that I am surrendered I pray.

Prepare my heart and let them see,
Your perfect love reflected through me.

Prepare my words as to invite and not offend,
that they may be home with You in the end.

Prepare my countenance that they may see,
Your joy and love emanating from me.

Prepare my feelings so I feel only what You desire,
open my mouth so my words set them on fire.

Give me the desire and wisdom I need,
then the strength and agility to onward proceed.

The ability to discern what I may effect,
and the wisdom to let You my actions direct.

May Your light shine so brightly through me,
that all who see it are drawn to Thee.

May their burdens be lifted and their smiles made bright,
may they see in me a reflection of Your perfect delight.

Prepare their hearts Lord that they may receive,
make them hungry Lord and ready to believe.
