Open my lips


Copyright [cc] 2002 Psalms of Life

PSALM OF LIVING

Open my lips, my God:
    and our mouths will declare aloud your praises.

Open my eyes, my God:
    and our seeing will delight in wonder at your glory.

Open my ears, my God:
    and our hearing will pick up your readiness to care.

Open my heart, my God:
    and our feelings will reflect your love and pity.

Open my mind, my God:
    and our thinking will welcome new understandings.

Open my will, my God:
    and our commitment will mirror your faithfulness.

Open my hands, my God:
    and our giving will transmit your generosity of spirit.

Open my life, my God:
    and our living will  reveal your presence in our world.



Based on a prayer by David Adam (`Tides and Seasons' Triangle p.23).
