Before You I Kneel (A Worker's Prayer)

<p>[Verse 1]<br/>Before You I kneel, my Master and Maker<br/>To offer the work of my hands<br/>For this is the day You’ve given Your servant<br/>I will rejoice and be glad<br/>For the strength I have to live and breathe<br/>For each skill Your grace has given me<br/>For the needs and opportunities<br/>That will glorify Your great name<br/><br/>[Verse 2]<br/>Before You I kneel and ask for Your goodness<br/>To cover the work of my hands<br/>For patience and peace to shape all my labor<br/>Your grace for thorns in my path<br/>Flow within me like a living stream<br/>Wear away the stones of pride and greed<br/>‘Til Your ways are dwelling deep in me<br/>And a harvest of life is grown<br/>[Verse 3]<br/>Before You we kneel, our Master and Maker<br/>Establish the work of our hands<br/>And order our steps to seek first Your kingdom<br/>In every small and great task<br/>May we live the gospel of Your grace<br/>Serve Your purpose in our fleeting days<br/>Then our lives will bring eternal praise<br/>And all glory to Your great name
