|
Freedom calls my name, serenity keeps me sane |
|
Happiness it dulls the pain |
|
Honest to see my place, open to other ways |
|
Willingness to understand |
|
Justice but do not judge, courtesy for other flaws |
|
Kindness it's not that hard |
|
Self-restraint of tongue and pen, inventory my daily friend |
|
Analysis, let down your guard |
|
Look in the mirror, what do you see? |
|
The shattered fortress that once bound me |
|
Fateful ascent through darkest fires |
|
I've found the path to take me higher |
|
You're smart enough for me to trust, go live your life now |
|
Just keep these steps in your life and you'll know how |
|
If you're not sure ask yourself |
|
Have I done to them as I would have them do to me? |
|
Look in the mirror, what's that you see? |
|
The shattered fortress, fly now be free |
|
Fateful ascent through darkest fires |
|
I've found the path to take me higher |
|
I once thought it better to be right |
|
But now I have finally seen the light |
|
Sometimes you've got to be wrong and learn from mistakes |
|
I live with serenity now not self-righteous hate |
|
Help me be a channel of Thy peace |
|
That where there is hatred I may bring love |
|
That where there is wrong I may bring the spirit of forgiveness |
|
That where there is discord I may bring harmony |
|
That where there is error I may bring truth |
|
That where there is doubt I may bring faith |
|
Now that you can see all you have done |
|
That where there is despair I may bring hope |
|
That where there is shadow I may bring light |
|
It's time to take that step into the kingdom |
|
That where there is sadness I may bring joy |
|
All your sins will help to make you strong |
|
That I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted |
|
That I may seek to understand rather than to be understood |
|
And help you break right through the prison wall |
|
That I may seek to love, rather than to be loved |
|
For it is by self-forgetting that one finds |
|
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven |
|
Keep all of me, the desires that once burned me deep inside |
|
Help me live today and help to give me grace to carry out your way |
|
I am ready, help me be all I can be |
|
I am ready, help guide me and keep me free |
|
I am responsible when anyone, anywhere reaches out for help |
|
I want my hand to be there |
|
I am responsible when anyone, anywhere reaches out for help |
|
I want my hand to be there |
