A DORCAS IN ME

Hear, dear Lord, of what I want to be ...

More and more, just like thee!

For all the great things you have done for us,

I should then give unto you my obedience and trust!

May you then say, with confidence bold,

That the rest of my labors are yet to unfold!

In trying good deeds, done with such care,

It's your plan of SALVATION I want to share!

Both sure and true is your everlasting LOVE,

Meant for those who long for Heaven above!

Would you not expect, found in ME,

The same DEVOTION as your Son, dying on that TREE?

My prayer shall ever be

That you will find a Dorcas in ME!
