Lord, please keep far from me all pettiness and
greed.
Cause me to be large in giving, gentle in word
and deed.
Rid from me all self-serving acts and pious
fault-finding
Help me to remove all pretense, let my words be
minding
Of my neighbours needs, that I can greet him
face to face,
Never hasty in judgment, mindful of Your saving
grace.
Holy Spirit teach me how to be calm, serene and
gentle.
Never let me become lax, just willing to sit and
settle.
For I was saved to serve; keep Your word in my
mind.
And, Oh Lord, help me to remember always to be
kind!
