SHOWING GOD'S FORGIVNESS IN EVERYDAY LIFE,
IN TIMES OF TROUBLE AND TIMES OF STRIFE,
LET THE LOVE OF MERCY FLOW THRU MY HEART,
AND JUST LET YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DEPART.
LET THE JOY OF THE LORD BE MY STRENGTH EVERYDAY,
MAKE SADDNESS AND SORROW JUST FADE AWAY,
LET ME FORGET MY PAST CAUSE IT'S UNDER THE BLOOD,
BRING ME INTO YOUR LIGHT AND OUT OF THE MUD.
SO WRAP ME IN YOUR ARMS OF CARE,
KEEP ME ALERT, AND KEEP ME AWARE,
FILL ME WITH YOUR SPIRIT AND HOLY GHOST FIRE,
AND YOU WILL FULFILL MY LIFE'S ONLY DESIRE.
