A Prayer

Lord, take my tears.
Make them an ocean,
An ocean of Your love.

Take my cries.
Make them a mighty shout,
Proclaiming Your grace to save.

Take my aching heart.
Make it a burden,
A burden to do Your work.

Take my thoughts.
Make them a vision,
That I may see how to reach Your children.

Take my wishes.
Make them Your dreams,
Dreams beyond my human mind.

Take my heart,
Lord I pray.

Make me closer to Your design.
