The prayer of an aging servant in a land that dies its grrey hair and discards what is not new...
Make use of me, Lord, err my strength fails use my strength, my wisdom, my days use my many failures, my weaknesses my doubt make use of me Lord as my strength ebbs use my unstable feet and shaking hands and dimming sight make use of me, Lord till my strength is gone and my life is over empty me use me kill me in your service then raise me to new life, and new service

Beautiful profound uplifting write - a moving prayer! Great reminder about faith to the believers.

then raise me to new life,
and new service ..."
