By Deborah Ann
Lord, help me to put on,
Your tender mercy
to all those who are
hungry and thirsty.
Help me to be kind,
to those who are needy
keep me always humble
not selfish and greedy.
Lord, help me to put on,
Your loving, forgiving heart
so when I am wronged
forgiveness I can impart.
Help me to be gracious,
give me Job like patience
to all who You send or bring
into my acquaintance.
Lord, help me to put on,
Your mercy every day
so for You I can lead . . .
others to the Truth and Way!
~~~~~~~~~
“Put on therefore,
as the elect of God,
holy and beloved,
bowels of mercies,
kindness, humbleness of mind,
meekness,longsuffering;
Forbearing one another,
and forgiving one another,
if any man have a quarrel
against any: even as Christ
forgave you, so also do ye.â€
~~~~~~~
†Behold, we count them happy which endure.
Ye have heard of the patience of Job,
and have seen the end of the Lord;
that the Lord is very pitiful,
and of tender mercy.â€
