A Prayer for Mary

tomorrow is not promised

but today is in my grasp

God help to make the most of it

is really all I ask

help me represent you

in all I do and say

show me who needs loving

and move all things in my way

help me see you clearly

and hold my angry tongue

teach me what I need to know

and sing it like I've never sung

I know that you are with me

and I pray you hold my hand

because the fear this world presents

is more than I can stand

I choose to live like this is it

but pray there's more to come

I love the life you've given me and

don't feel I'm quite done

I trust you God with all my heart

and want your will, not mine

but as you heal us, become real, thus

giving us more time . . . .
