To Be What My Lord Would Have Me Be Poem by Robert Katuli

I don't want to be a king
I don't want to be a knight
I don't want to be a prime minister
I don't want to be a supreme leader
I don't want to be an emperor
I don't want to be anything
I just want to be me
To be only what my Lord would have me be.

I don't want to win titles
I don't want to amass fortunes
I don't want to build castles
I don't want to achieve fame
I don't want to travel places
I don't want to do anything
I just want to do His perfect will
To do only what my Lord would have me do.

I don't want to be a lord bishop
I don't want to be a major prophet
I don't want to be a holy father
I don't want to be a senior apostle
I don't want to be a mother superior
I don't want to be anything
I just want to be a child of the King
To be only what my Lord would have me be.
