Serenity Prayer (written by Reinhold Neibuhr)

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

From Philippians 4:6-7:  “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Reinhold Neibuhr (1892-1971) was an American theologian as well as a commentator on public affairs.  He was a professor at Union Theological Seminary for over 30 years.

Sunrise filling eastern sky

Singing praises to God’s love

Trusting in His divine Word

Hope breathes form heavens above

 

New day faithfully arrives

Reigning forever with grace

Nourishing with righteousness

Hope breathes from Savior’s birthplace

 

Prophecy’s promises true

Holding mercy in His hands

Sending His Son in man’s place

Hope breathes from Father’s heartland

 

Faith pursues with endurance

Approaching eternal light

Witnessing redemption’s peace

Hope breathes from Christ’s risen flight

 

Savior’s precious blood now shed

Granting forgiveness of sins

Calling all to walk with Him

Hope breathes from His love within
