If It Be Your Will

If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will

If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing

If it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will
To make us well

And draw us near
And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will

If it be your will

    Allowing it, whatever it may be, to be His will, can be one of the most daunting aspects faced by man.

    His will, being done, should fill us with joy, never fear or sadness.

    Beautiful!
    Let your mercy spill
    On all these burning hearts in hell
    If it be your will
    To make us well

    The Serenity Prayer comes to mind. May you find the strength you need.

    Like sitting through a rocket and artillery barage in Vietnam . powerlessness we humans are so fragile.. We come and go.

    Almighty God, you have given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplication to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will be in the midst of them: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen. -BCP
