not counting the cost

Here's a counterpoint to an early blog entry in the blue blog.

Obviously, I still have lots to learn.


Teach us, good Lord,
to serve you as you deserve,
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labour and not to ask for any reward,
save that of knowing that we do your will.

Amen.
