if u’re feeling alright,
persevering in the faith,
pushing on with joy
why do i speak and talk
and insist that somehow there must be something broken?
it’s pride that gets in the way
wanting to be the one who lifts your moods
wanting to be the one who comforts and prays
but where there’s perseverance
teach me Lord to rejoice!
though you receive glory when i comfort another
the glory is Yours – all the more -
when u do it without me
i must decrease
and You must increase
teach me joy for your work in others
joy for your work through others
teach me to look out with the same eagerness
for lives that display signs of your grace
rather than only look out
for lives that are broken
