Peace, Serenity

Peace, Serenity, gifts we seek
For ourselves and others
That we may leave Your footprints
To all we meet and relate.

Peace, serenity, gifts we seek
To plant Your seeds of love;
Your abiding love to the weak and lowly,
So their hearts may begin rejoicing.

Peace, serenity, gifts we seek
Your abiding presence rule and lead
Our weakened spirits energize
And reach out to the very needy.

Peace, serenity, gifts we seek
So wisdom may reign
In reaching out to those You choose
To restore their sense of dignity.

Peace, serenity, gifts we seek
To ease our struggles and others
Who coss our daily paths
Desiring relatedness and acceptance.

Peace, serenity, gifts we seek
Beloved, giver of all good gifts,
Receive our restless hearts
And instill Your all-healing peace.
