Lyrics

Dear Lord:
Lord grant me the ability to do all that I can
To comfort others and end their pain
Each day when I wake up I thank you for life
So I can keep workin' to end others' strife

Everyman's prayer
I'm goin' nowhere
But if I can share feelings I care with others I see
It's good for me
It sets me free
And I am everyman

Lord let my eyes make me wise
To pain I see in my community
House the homeless, hear for the deaf, feed the poor
And for the lame, open a door
Build a flame for those who are cold
Give comfort to those who are old

I'm livin' my life in peace
And hope that I can help others to cope
I know I got it better than most
Now, I'm not perfect, but I'm tryin' to be
With every good deed I do
Lord, I'm tryin' to be like you
Lord, I'm tryin' to be like you
Tryin' to be like you

Everyman's prayer
I'm goin' nowhere
But if I can share feelings I care with others I see
Lord, it's good for me
It sets me free
And I am everyman
I am everyman
I am everyman

Amen.
