Lord,
May I face my enemies
As you did —
With swift forgiveness,
Bending to your will.
May I face my deepest fears
As you did —
With cries for help,
Yet bending to your will.
May I face my suffering
As you did —
With full acceptance,
Bending to your will.
May I face my life and death
As you did —
With constant prayer,
While bending to your will.
