adapted from “Prayers of Steel” by Robert Frost
Lay me on an anvil, O Lord
Lay me on an anvil, O Lord
Beat me and mold me
Make me into a crowbar
Lay me on an anvil, O Lord
Loose me on ignorance, O Lord
Loose me on ignorance, O Lord
Let me tear down old walls
Let me lift and loosen old foundations
Loose me on ignorance, O Lord
Lay me across the waters, O Lord
Lay me across the waters, O Lord
Use me to build bridges
Between these my brothers
Lay me across the waters, O Lord
Lay me on an anvil
Loose me on ignorance
Lay me across the waters
O Lord
