Your Heart Today
Where there is fear I can allay,Where there is pain I can heal,Where there are wounds I can bind,And hunger I can fill:Lord, grant me courage,Lord, grant me strength,Grant me compassionThat I may be your heart today.Where there is hate I can confront,Where there are yokes I can release,Where there are captives I can freeAnd anger I can appease:Lord, grant me courage,Lord, grant me strength,Grant me compassionThat I may be your heart today.When comes the day I dreadTo see our broken world,Protect me from myself grown coldThat your people I may behold.And when I've done all that I could,Yet, there are hearts I cannot move,Lord, give me hope,That I may be your heart today.
- Fr. Manoling Francisco, SJ
