GIVE ME A VISION

Give me a vision, Lord, I plead,

Vision of souls and a world in need:

Loved ones and friends, the one next

Door,

Then let me see there are millions more.

Give me a vision,

Heart-stirring vision,

Open my eyes, Lord, today;

Show me the sighing,

Doomed and the dying,

Give me a vision, I pray.

Give me a vision, Lord divine,

Kindle with fire this cold heart of mine;

May with unselfishness it burn,

Fill me with love and a deep concern.

Give me a vision, Lord divine,

So charged with power that it shall shine

Out to the lost in deepest night,

Wandering alone in their sad, sad plight.

Give me a vision, Lord divine,

Without a limit or boundary line;

Help me to see a world in sin,

Not just the field I am working in
