LETTERS TO DESTINY © 2012

Lord, may I shake the earth with my voice,

Let it resonate like thunder in the mountains,

Awaken the sleeping hearts,

And let the truth echo in the depths.

But at the same time, may it be gentle,

Like the murmur of a flowing river,

That the words, though strong,

Bring peace to those who can hear.

I will make it sweet as cotton,

In the endless fields of Your love,

Where each syllable is an embrace,

Wrapping the world in warmth.

Lord, make me an instrument of Your will,

That my voice be a bridge between heaven and earth,

To shake what needs to be moved,

And soothe what is encased in pain.

May I balance power and tenderness,

That my voice be firm and beautiful,

And that, in the fields of eternity,

It blossoms like a star.
