Let me keep an open mind, Lord
And not judgmental be
Help me not to be unkind, Lord
With a heart that’s stayed on thee

Let me always keep the faith, Lord
With ne’er a doubt nor fear
And trust in what you saith, Lord
For all that life holds dear

Let me live in the light of your love, Lord
A shining example to others be
And when I go with you above, Lord
Keep my soul as one with thee

Let me help to spread the word, Lord
Make pure faith shine in my eyes
And float as freely as a bird, Lord
To my home beyond the skies

Teach me to forgive, Lord
To always turn the other cheek
Let me give all I can give, Lord
My inheritance be with the meek

Let me always follow thee, Lord
And with the faithful remain
So that I may ever be, Lord
With my loved ones, once again

Please let me always know, Lord
That thy mercy will abound
And wherever I may go, Lord
Thy forgiveness can be found

Let me give my all to thee, Lord
Keep me always in thy care
So when life ceases to be, Lord
I may dwell with thee up there
