Lord, let me be an instrument in Thy hand,
A spade or a trowel or a knife,
To till the soil or prune the branch
Or to sow the Seed of life.
Lord, let me be an instrument in Thy hand,
One that is sharp and keen,
One that is usable and well-honed,
Not rusted, but well-kept and clean.
Lord, let me be an instrument in Thy hand,
Ready to do Thy will,
Pliant and flexible, yet sturdy and true,
That I might Thy purpose fulfill.
