I didn’t know what to write today. Seems sadness has slowed me down. I wanted to send a special message. One that could make a difference for someone. When I came up short, I did my go to and thought about a song that the ensemble sings that really makes me think. The song that came to mind is written by Ivan Parker and is called “A Little More Like You.”
Read the words below in a prayerful way.
Grant me your holiness
Make me devoted deep within
I plead for patience in my trials
And more sorrow for my sin
A deeper faith in you
Dear Lord, please give me every day
Let me find joy in my journey
And more purpose when I pray
This is my prayer
Lord, when this day is through
Was I a little less like me
And a little more like you
My lone desire
In all I say or do
Was I a little less like me
And a little more like you
Give me more gratitude
Help me to love you even more
And take pride only in your glory
And trust only in your word
Let me shed sorrow’s tears
When others pain, when others grieve
And may my neighbor please see Jesus
Every time that they see me
This is my prayer
Lord, when this day is through
Was I a little less like me
And a little more like you
My lone desire
In all I say or do
Was I a little less like me
And a little more like you
That’s all that needs to be said.
Shine, Shine, Shine!
