What beautiful words Gladys writes. I've never heard of the author before. Can anybody help me here please?
Words to Heal
Lord, give me words to heal the wounded
And bandages of hope to cover their scars
Give me, Lord, a torch of inspiration
To usher someone through the dark tunnel of despair
Hands that heal the scars
And dissipate their fears
Eyes to see beyond the mask
The painted smiles they wear
Eyes to pierce the veil of pain
And a prayer cloth for their tears
Give me an ointment of love
A balm to mend the broken hearts
A candle of courage to light the path
When the night is dark
Give me fortitude to fight a flame a doubt
With a flame of faith
Courage to tell the world
Of Your amazing grace
Give me wisdom to differentiate
Between a dream and reality
Discernment to know whatever comes in my life
You've allowed to be
Give me strength to run this race
Though the finish line be far
For I long to be all that You've made me
And become everything You are
