\"\"<\/a>Others praise You
\nwith voices raised in song.
\nStill others paint awe-inspiring
\ncanvases or raise buildings into the sky.
\nLet me praise You with the talents
\nYou have given me.<\/p>\n

I can reach out a hand
\nto steady my elderly neighbor,
\nor raise my heart in prayer
\nfor a sorrowing friend.<\/p>\n

I can stir a pot bubbling on the stove
\nas I wait for my hungry spouse.
\nI can speak comfort to a discouraged teen or
\nsmile at the mother of an energetic child.<\/p>\n

In all these ways,
\nI praise You,
\nwho made me as I am.<\/p>\n
