Being There

Folks will cross my path today
and ask for my time,
seek my company,
lean on my shoulder,
tell me their story,
reach for my help,
reveal their grief,
share their joy,
request my prayer,
look for a smile,
shed a tear,
and need a friend...

May I be there for them, Lord,
as you're always there for me...

And...

I'll meet folks today who'll offer
to give me their time,
walk by my side,
lift me up,
hear me out,
lend me a hand,
bear my grief,
share my joy,
promise their prayer,
smile upon me,
dry my tears,
and be my friend...

Open me up to their love, Lord,
as I open my heart to yours...
