Jr. Cuyam - The Request

Into the starving streets and residence of the wretch,
Lead us and utilize us Lord
Use our hands, use our feet
Send us to all corners of the world
Enable us to influence those derelicts,
bleak, doomed to failure
and street mockers who utters pointless words
and takes breath in despair.

Abet and patronize us each day,
Embolden and permit us to dish the good tidings
to those who are deserted to decay
so that they may have eternal life and will not perish.
And as they accept and receive your invitation,
etch into them the the true meaning of salvation.
Intensify us as we put your words into use
Heavenly Father, use us

So that we may deliver and speak your word freely,
clutch us from our emotion's bridle,
Untie us from the grip of timidity,
and ignite us from being idle.
Vouchsafe unto us the potency we need
for our coyness is noticeable.
Stitch and hem us with threads of confidence and lore
Father, in Christ Jesus, we humbly implore.

Break us from ourselves, from being unproductive
and build us with your divine base.
Rid us of useless endeavor, and make us bear good fruit
Cut us from the tree of no use, and place us
on the ground where we can produce good fruits and spring up
to divine growth or increase in accordance
with our latent and purpose
which you've made known to us through Christ Jesus.

Jr. Cuyam
