Lord,
teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve You as You deserve;
to give and not to count the cost;
to fight and not to heed the wounds;
to toil and not to seek for rest;
to labor and not to ask for any reward,
except to know
that I am doing your will.

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now, you can't tell,
But stay awhile, and maybe then you'll see

I know, right now, you don't care
But soon enough, you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be.
