grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
and the penance that will let me make it up to you.
grant me the peace of standing still in your heart
and the lurking fears that keep me eager, restless, pacing to prove myself.
where I am tired let me become strong, the fiercest champion
of your heart and your body and soul. where I am blind
let me see all the ways you bless me. where I would go silent
lead me in song, let me show you the wholeness of my voice.
