Prayer for a Choir Member

Lord of Life, 
fill my voice with love for You.
May the notes that sound
find their harmony as they pass through my heart.  May the song of my mouth
be a hymn of praise to You. 

May I seek by my Voice
to give glory to You
rather than to bring attention to myself. 
May I seek humble service to the parish community
by sharing of this gift 
with which You, my Lord, have blessed me.
Use me, Lord of Rhythm and Harmony,
as You would play upon a hollow reed
so that those whom I am called to serve
may be attuned to Your Spirit and moved to prayer.

May my gift of service
truly be my prayer to You each day. Amen
