AM I WORTHY

Am I worthy to be called mother dear?
My actions good, show God’s love is near,
Do I measure up well to that noble name
Or should I bow my head in utter shame?

Help me Lord to always choose the right,
Help me keep thy countenance in sight
As I press forward daily, striving to be
A mother worthy for now and eternity.

Help me pray for guidance and love,
Keep me aiming for heaven above,
Help me try to find kindly ways
With love, to guide though all my days.

Give me understanding dear Lord,
Help in me find a soft, gentle word,
A heart that will always judge fairly
And try no favourite child to display.

I long to be a mother fit for God above,
Fit to meet each child with perfect love,
Fit to see the family gathered all around
And so my eternal purpose truly found.
