Heavenly Father I’m coming low Hands open Heart open Teach me as I go When I see a sister stumble When my brother’s losing sight Guard me from my pride Guide my tongue to life Teach me to correct in love Like You correct me Kindness in the fire Mercy in the heat Lead me by Your Holy Spirit Not by my own will Let me treat them how You treat me Gentle Patient Still Older Younger Every age and name Keep me bowed before You Keep me free from gain If I have to speak a hard word Let it fall like rain Healing every wounded root Not adding to their shame Teach me to correct in love Like You correct me Kindness in the fire Mercy in the heat Lead me by Your Holy Spirit Not by my own will Let me treat them how You treat me Gentle Patient Still Thank You for the way You hold me Not in anger But in grace Let my heart reflect Your mercy In every word I say (oh) Thank You for the way You shape me Firm but full of peace Do in me what I can’t do Make Your love increase Teach me to correct in love Like You correct me Kindness in the fire Mercy in the heat Lead me by Your Holy Spirit Keep my motives clean Let me love them like You love me In Jesus’ name Amen
