For Courage to Do Justice
O Lord, open my eyes that I may see the needs of othersOpen my ears that I may hear their cries;Open my heart so that they need not be without succor;Let me not be afraid to defend the weak because of the anger of the strong,Nor afraid to defend the poor because of the anger of the rich.Show me where love and hope and faith are needed,And use me to bring them to those places.And so open my eyes and my earsThat I may this coming day be able to do some work of peace for thee.
- Alan Paton
