Lord,
I am content
With what you send.
Health and illness
Both flow from your hand;
Poverty and plenty
From above –
You know what I need,
For you are love.
Lord,
I am content
With what you give.
Joy and grief
Are lessons I must live;
Disaster, healing touch,
Smooth path, or rough –
You know what I need,
And that’s enough.
Lord,
I am content
With what you grant.
May I learn to face
What you command;
For you, Lord, suffer with me,
Like your Son,
And you know what I need –
Your will be done.
