Give us the vision
for the coming years,
as we look to the future –
to overcome our fears,
and boldly take a stand
as we seek to make each land,
a kingdom fit for you.
Give us the vision
for the church, your bride,
to be pure, strong and holy –
to overcome our pride,
and humbly understand
we receive with open hand,
the pow-er from you.
Give us the vision
for our exploited earth
as we watch our planet suffering,
and see the peoples’ hurt;
spur us on at your command
until each and every land
gives glory to you. ©Carol Dixon 1988
