Lord give me eyes, so that I see
The kind of person, you want me to be
Oh not the kind, in my mind I think should
But one who lives, the way he should
Yes, by your standards, not by mine
I know your standards, just are fine
But each of us, thinks we know best
We think our creator, should take a rest
We think much better, things we can do
But usually,we change our view
Because we messed it up it seems
Because not the hand above guided we
Yes help me have more trust in you
And help me get much better through
Each day we set our goals, and ignore
The one who if we did outpour
Our troubles, trials, and our view
Of life ahead, a much better view
When troubles, trials, come to thee
Put trust in one who did make thee
He truly knows, what’s best to do
He won’t lead us astray, as we would do
No, ask his help, and he’ll do all
To help us meet, what does befall
Us on our journey, throughout our life
He’ll help us cope and end our strife
So friend, do take these words I say
And try to put them into play
Don’t throw up hands, say woe is me
Our God is great and you will see
That he will help you help take you through
Whatever life dished out to you
