My Prayer

Baby Lobster Cloud

Can you figure out the 2 eyes, a big nose and small mouth?

While my husband was clearing my drawer today, he found the below prayer which I kept since 1987. May this prayer remind us of our mission on earth and may we be faithful to do what we have been assigned to do.

My Prayer

Let me not die before I’ve done for Thee
My earthly work, whatever it may be;
Call me not hence with mission unfulfilled;
Impress this truth upon me – that not one
Can do my portion that I leave undone;
For each one in Thy vineyard hath a spot
To labour on for life and weary not.
I long to be an instrument of Thine
To bid men at Thy table “come and dine”
To be a means one human soul to save
From dark terrors of a hopeless grave
Yet most I want a spirit of content
To work where’er You wish my labour spent
Whether at home, or in a stranger clime.
In days of joy or sorrow’s sterner time,
I want a spirit happy to lie still,
Or by Thy power to do Thy holy will.
Let me not die before I’ve done for Thee
My earthly work, whatever it may be.
