I Am Your Instrument


By Jen Bedison
God, you created all  G O O D  things,
                                                all  L O V E L Y  things,
                                                            all  H A R M O N I O U S  things,
                                                                and all things that bring  J O Y  to people.

I give myself to you so that with my life, you would also bring
G O O D   -   L O V E L Y   -   H A R M O N I O U S   -   and   J O Y F U L
                                                                                                fruits into the world.
Play W H A T E V E R music you see fit through me
(and I am sure it will not be limited to just one type)
           and help me to succumb with 
                               F I N E S S E ,  R E S P E C T ,  and P A S S I O N.

May I always keep my instrument
F I N E L Y   T U N E D , P O L I S H E D, and R E A D Y  to go
                                                     and let me never keep it just for display 
                                                                but to be used by you.
I’ll play A N Y tune you’d like, however,
I am not the best R A P P E R
                             so maybe we can leave the
                                                      R A P P I N G  to someone else,   
                                               B U T ,
                               I’ll totally do it if you want!!
I pray to be
L I G H T – H E A R T E D
P O O R   I N   S P I R I T
P E A C E   M A K I N G , and
T H E   B E S T   V E R S I O N   O F   M Y S E L F  
                       so that all will know that I   B E L O N G to you.

You are a M A S T E R musician and I  C O N S E C R A T E my life 
                                                                                     as your
                                                      F A I T H F U L   I N S T R U M E N T
                                                            O P E N   and   A V A I L A B L E 
                                                                 to let you do your thing in me.

So  B R E A T H E  or  S T R U M  or  P I C K  or even  K I C K
                                    your melody as loud or as soft as you like.
                                                I am yours. Sing your song in me.  Amen.
