Lord, take from me all worldly desires.
Take my heart and free it to do
Your will and Your work; my aim and my purpose;
My life to truly belong to You.
Place in my heart a true love for others;
Compassion, concern for downtrodden and sad.
A hand to the ill and an ear for the weak ones,
A helpful word takes place of the bad.
Just lead me and guide me to where You’d have me do
Your work and Your purpose; it’s all up to You.
I just want to join You and do Your good will,
Empty my heart of self, with Your love refill.
“For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.”
—Ps. 48:14 (NIV)
