For each day I try
to grow to become
more like Him who
we honor this day.

What I know is that
I am not justice, no
so that means then
that I must try to see
me as mercy instead.

So to you and yours
if it Justice you seek
and mercy can't be seen,
just call on me to fill in
somehow I'll do my best.

Oh I'll never be the Son
and that is not my goal
it is only to be the brother
and to do as I've been told.

But mostly just a me
a rusty old knight
who doesn't understand
other than we are all
sisters and brothers.

To learn to kneel in prayer
to be thankful we've had
the opportunity for another
this day or someway to care
to meet the needs of others.

Who am I, but as to obey
to be to you what is it
you'd have me be today
never justice, but to some
maybe mercy in disguise.

But this old rusty knight
in this way can only his
love ever learn to show
now in service to others
maybe to you to know.

Thank you for this year
it has been more for me
than most will ever know,
but you all were part of it
and I really do love you so.
