May our lives show the marks
Of humility, love and joy
May their effects be evident
As we follow Christ's way
Every day
And fruitfulness enjoy.
Not by our own design
Can we employ such gifts
The Holy Spirit grants them all
To those who surrender
And defer
And holy hands uplift.
We must fully submit
To His divine and holy will
In holy grace-filled surrender
And as channels of grace
Run the race
And His great works fulfil.
