A Better Place

Dear Lord, give me the eyes to see

Not only what’s in front of me

And help me reach with love’s embrace

To make this world a better place

Dear Lord, give me the faith to climb

Life’s ladder, one day at a time

And help me strive with tender grace

To make this world a better place

Help me to crave, not man’s applause

But ever more of You because

It is the beauty of Your ways

That makes this world a better place

Deed by deed and prayer by prayer

We can show the world we care

As we reach with love’s kind embrace

To make this world a better place
