Lord, did you know
that I make lovely scones?
I make them
just the way that I like them.
I share my scones with other people too
but if they don’t like them
it really doesn’t matter to me
because I like my scones
just the way they are.

Lord, I would love to feel the same way
about my singing
as I feel about my scones.
I long to be able to sing for you
without being concerned about
what other people might think.

Lord, help me to remember
that for you,
my best is always good enough
and that when I sing for you
what other people think
really doesn’t matter.

Lord, help me to have the same attitude
towards my singing
as I have towards my scones.
