Hear my Prayer, O Lord

"Hear, and O Lord and answer me,
  for I am poor and needy.
 Guard my life for I am devoted to You.
 You are my Lord ; save Your servant
  who trusts in You.
Have mercy on me, O Lord,
  for I call to you all day long.
Bring joy to Your servant,
  for to You , O Lord
I lift up my soul.

You are  forgiving and good , O Lord,
abounding in love to all who call to You.
Hear my prayer, O Lord;
listen to my cry for mercy,
 In the day of my trouble I will call to you
for you will answer me.
                          (Psalm 86:1-7)

The Offering

"Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom
  and knowledge of God1
 How unsearchable his judgments
 and His paths beyond tracing out!
Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been His counselor?
Who has ever given to God
that God should repay him?
For from Him and through Him and to Him
are all things.
To Him be the glory forever! Amen"
                                      (Doxology)

The glory belongs to God and not to me
for whatever good or great I do
it's through Him and by Him, I do
It's in His strength, I'm able to do the impossible
It's by His grace, I'm able to walk in love and share love
It's in His wisdom, I look life and the world with a different perspective
It's in His mercy, I learned to show mercy to others
So, without Him, I'm nothing and I've nothing to boast about
But with Him, I've everything to boast about
If I believe, my life is a gift from Him
Then, what I do with my life is a gift I give to Him!
