And help me overlook more of the wrong I see in others.
Open wide your arms again, hear my prayer forgive my sin,
For in my heart there's never been room enough for others.
So keep my heart in your hand, guide my footsteps through this land.
And when it's there in your plan, lead me Lord to others.
Keep me strong lest I fall, and help me grow through it all.
Never let me grow so tall that I look down on others.
I am yours and you are mine forever this I know.
But others wait outside the gate, to them we must go.
O I know we must go.
So touch my life, work through me. We're looking now at eternity.
But sweeter still it seems to me, knowing I will always be
With the One who died for me.....
And others.
