A Volunteer’s Prayer
I thank Thee, Lord, as a volunteer
For a chance to serve again this year;
To give myself in some small way
To those not blessed as I each day.
My thanks for health of mind and soul
To aid me ever toward my goal;
For eyes to see the good in all
A hand to extend before a fall.
For legs to go where the need is great
Learning to love — forgetting to hate;
For ears to hear and heart to care
When someone’s cross is hard to bear.
A smile to show my affection true
With energy plenty the task to do;
And all I ask, dear Lord, if I may
Is to serve You better, day by day.
