“Accept the person I am” Teach me to listen, Lord :-
Teach me to listen, Lord :-
Teach me to listen, Lord
To those nearest me
My family, my friends, my co-workers
Help me to be aware that
No matter what words I hear
Teach me to listen, lord
To those far from me
The whisper of the hopeless
The plea of the forgotten
The cry of the anguished.
Teach me to listen, Lord to myself.
Help me to be less afraid
To trust the voice inside
In the deepest part of me.
For your voice
In the busyness and in boredom
In certainty and in doubt,
Teach me to listen, Lord more
