String Cheese Prayer

The new CD from The String Cheese Incident ("One Step Closer") opens with a prayer, "Give Me the Love":

Give me the love I'd have, for all my enemies
Give me the love I'd have, for those I cannot please
Give me the love that knows
all the love there is
Give me the love that knows
all that love can give

That's all I ask of you
That's all I need from you
That's all I ask of you

From the sin that separates, and from the doubts
That have plagued my coming in and going out
May there be a bed of mercy, to lay my anger down
To fill the emptiness, where there is no sound

That's all I ask of you...

My last post here ("'Christian' Radio Rant") was pretty angry and sarcastic. There is much in the world today that can justify anger. I can let the anger lead me into constructive action, and I hope I do that most of the time. But I need to lay the anger down; I can't carry it around with me.

May there be a bed of mercy, to lay my anger down...

Thank you, String Cheese Incident.
