I need not ask
What others think
Before I make my mind up —
Just like you, Lord.
I need not judge
What others want
Before I grasp my feelings —
Just like you.
I need not wait
For others to agree
Before I speak out boldly —
Just like you, Lord.
I need not watch
To see how others act
Before I do what’s right, Lord –
Just like you.
