Compassion
Compassion
God, help me to see you in this situation
Help me to know you’re there.
To rest upon You completely
In an attitude of prayer.
To speak when the Spirit prompts
With holiness and truth.
To listen with a heart of care
May my grace exude.
Fill me with your Spirit’s power
As you nudge me to speak.
That in this holy hour
I would boldly be.
The sharpness of an arrow
That strikes the heart of lies.
Hitting its mark of anything
Against the Word of Christ.
Encouragement to the wounds
Compassion filled with grace.
A vessel emptied of myself
For Jesus took my place.
