Lord - I hope You can hear, are you listening?
Our world of saints and sinners
where good people suffer and the wicked thrive
has me stretched between hope and despair.
Lead me to a place of silence
where I can be restored,
and readied once more to go out
with others, so many others, of good will,
to contribute hope to this world,
with its wonder, its limitless potential for good.
