Lord help me to see with your eyes
Those who are wounded or alone
Those who are broken or wondering “why?”
When someone they love has died.

Give me eyes to see and a heart to share.
Fill my heart with compassion and concern
Help me to reach out with genuine care
Teach me truly their pain to discern.

Remembering how easy it could be
That as they are, I might become
Remembering that all good gifts come from Thee
And the blessing in helping other who are undone.

Give me sympathetic words to pray
Give me that tender gentle touch
And soothing kind words to say,
Help me bear another’s load that seems so much.

Lord help me see with your eyes.
