i only live to do thy will
I live only to do Thy will,
My lips move only in praise of Thee.
O Lord, whoever becomes aware of Thee
Casts out all else other than Thee.
O Lord, give me a heart
That I may pour it out in Thanksgiving.
Give me life
That I may spend it
In working for the salvation of the world.
O Lord, give me understanding
That I stray not from the path.
Give me light
To avoid pitfalls.
O Lord, give me eyes
Which see nothing but Thy glory.
Give me a mind
That finds delight in Thy service.
Give me a soul
Drunk in the wine of Thy wisdom.
