mercy
Lord,
May you move me towards mercy.
Strip me of my selfishness and lead me down the path of righteousness.
Pull the darkness from this heart so it may beat with honest hope instead of pointless pride.
May I act justly and walk with humble compassion as we go to the other side.
Give me the courage to stand up and speak up and hold up what is right.
May the truth bring forward much needed light.
Teach me to be a disciple of peace and giver of grace.
Let it be mercy I leave behind.
May I be quick to say forgive me, I’ve been wrong.
May I be quick to repent.
May mercy be my song.
And may I be slow to speak, for I have said enough.
I have said enough.
Give me ears to hear.
Lord, be near.
Amen.
.. .. ..
With hope,
Tanner Olson
