Bend me, stretch me, pull me, Lord,
beyond the meager limits I might set…
Bend me, stretch me, pull me, Lord,
in just the ways I usually resist…
Bend me, stretch me, pull me, Lord
towards that which I’m most likely to avoid…
Bend me, stretch me, pull me, Lord,
’til I become the person you call me to be…
Bend me, stretch me, pull me, Lord,
’til others’ needs are well within my reach…
Bend me, stretch me, pull me, Lord,
as much as I need bending, stretching, pulling!
With the grace of all your gentle strength,
Lord, bend me, stretch me, pull me…
Amen.
