A Prayer for Your Servant

This song was sung at my installation service on May 1 at Broadway United Methodist Church in Paducah. You have no idea how hard it was to preach after hearing Joe and Liz Hansen sing it.

I am a blessed man.

A Prayer for Your Servant

Lord, we pray for our pastor today
that God, you would use him
Holy Spirit, work through him
Mold him and shape him as clay
Lord, we pray for our pastor today

Lord, we pray for our shepherd today
that God, you would guide him
Holy Spirit, stand by him
Steer him to stay in your way
Lord, we pray for our shepherd today
O Holy God, now we offer to you
One you have chosen and gifted
May his heart be both broken and utterly lifted
Lord, we pray for your servant today
that God, you would bless him
Holy Spirit, possess him
Help him to rest in your grace
Lord, we pray for your servant today

Joe and Liz sent me this recording this morning. I hope it blesses you as much as it blessed me.
