It's Me, It's Me O Lord

In a world of irresponsibility,
"I" must be my first responsibility.

In a world of uninformed judgement,
I must be the object of my first judgement.

In a world of half truths and lies,
I must be true to myself and others. 

In a world of indifference toward God,
His view of me must be my primary concern. RB

In the words of the old African American spiritual,

Not my brother, nor my sister, but it’s me, O Lord,
Standin’ in the need of prayer;
It’s me, it’s me, O Lord,
Standin’ in the need of prayer; RB

Not the preacher, nor the deacon, but it’s me, O Lord,
Standin’ in the need of prayer;
It’s me, it’s me, O Lord,
Standin’ in the need of prayer;

Not my father, nor my mother, but it’s me, O Lord,
Standin’ in the need of prayer;
It’s me, it’s me, O Lord,
Standin’ in the need of prayer;
