A REGULAR PERSON

LORD, MAKE A REGULAR PERSON OUT OF ME...

This I would like to be - braver and bolder
Just a bit wiser because I am older,
Just a bit kinder to those I may meet,
Just a bit stronger taking defeat;
This is my wish and my plea -

Lord, make a regular person out of me.

This I would like to be - just a bit finer,
More of a smiler and less of a whiner,
Just a bit quicker to stretch out my hand,
Helping another who's struggling to stand,
This is my prayer for what I want to be,

Lord, make a regular person out of me.

This I would like to be - just a bit fairer,
Just a bit better, and just a bit squarer,
Not quite so eager persons failings to see,

Lord, make a regular person out of me.

This I would like to be - just a bit truer,
Less of the wisher and more of the doer,
Broader and bigger, more willing to give,
Living and helping my neighbor to live!
This is my prayer and my plea-

Lord, make a regular person out of me.
