Lord, cure me of my blindness,
My short-sightedness.
Where there is hostility,
May I see the fragility;
Where there is self-righteousness,
May I see the fear;
Where there is a hardness,
May I see the tender;
Where there is stubbornness,
May I see the doubt;
Where there is so much need,
May I see the plenty;
Where there is helplessness,
May I see the strength;
Where there is selfishness,
May I see the loss;
Where there is hate,
May I see the pain;
Where there is violence,
May I see the light within to peace;
And where there is imperfection,
May I see God’s everlasting love.
