An ambassador's prayer
Lord, please tune my ears so that they may hear
words spoken by you that I count so dear.
Then open my eyes so that they may see
opportunities for You to work through me
Walk close to me throughout this coming week
and may my lips to all of Your love speak.
Then please use my hands to reach out and do
some work of love and kindness just for You.
Dear Lord, May these arms of mine by Your grace
and Your great love, some struggling soul embrace.
Then upon my legs place such willing feet
that walk close to You as others we meet.
Blessed Holy Spirit make me I pray
an ambassador for my Lord this day.
So that others may look at me and see
the beauty of Jesus shining through me.
