Prayer for a Music MinisterAdapted from “Prayers For the Servants of God”

Lord, You have called me to be Your sacred instrument.Through me and the gifts that You have given me,I am to become a channel of Your mysterious grace.May each song at each celebration give honor to You, my God and Lord.Free of excessive nervousness and fear, and forgetful of myself, may I become a perfectly tuned instrument through which You mysteriously will touch each person who will hear the music prepared by me.

Free my heart of pride and of any desire for attention so that the divine melody may be heard beneath each song, beneath every expression of my gifts.May the sacred worship never be a performance but my prayer to you, my service to the community and my gratitude for the gifts and talents that you have bestowed upon me.

May my whole life be a harmonious song of gratitude for all that has been given me.May each service, both to friends and family, contain the melody of your divine heart.I thank you for the honor of serving others by being Your instrument of beauty and harmony.

I am Yours, play upon me.

AMEN.

Dm7 GMake you open up your mind and try to see

Refrain

CM7 AmWhile you’re wandering the day has passed away

Dm GNo more time for wandering now it’s time to pray

( . . . to refrain . . . )

CM7 AmFar beyond the sky the source of everything

Dm GSeems to hold within His hand a destiny

CM7 AmIn the twinkle of an eye your life has changed

Dm GChanged the sunshine in your life to tears of pain

( . . . to refrain . . . )

Smile

Smile though your heart is aching

Smile even though it’s breaking

When there are clouds in the sky

You’ll get by

If smile through your tears and sorrow

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You’ll get see the sun come shining through

For you . . .

Just light up your face with gladness

Hide every trace of sadness

Although a tear may ever be ever so near

That’s the time

You must keep on trying

Smile, what’s the use of crying

You’ll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile . . .

Smile because God is in you

Smile cuz’ He’s never leave you

In times of fear

He will always be near

Just hold on to God forever

He’ll never leave you ever

If you just have the faith

He has in you . . .

So pray that the whole world over

Will someday soon discover

Love that He gives

To all those who live

Take your time to know Him better

Yes, He will wait forever

Until the day when all can say

I love you so . . .
