Help me in my desperate plight, O Lord,
The world is wrestling with my heart, O Lord,
Dragging me down an abyss, O Lord,
Desiring to suppress my light, O Lord,
So rescue me from my poor plight, My Dear Lord.
.
A voice is striving to deceive, O Lord,
Persuading me that I exist, O Lord,
Independent of Your act, O Lord,
A random, floating speck of dust, O Lord
So strengthen me in Your knowledge, My Dear Lord.
.
The world urges me to idolise, O Lord,
The gods of wealth and happiness, O Lord,
And serve the goddesses of thrills, O Lord,
Until the world means everything, O Lord,
So make my true desire You, My Dear Lord.
.
I’m lost and I am wandering, O Lord,
I’m covered in the dust of sin, O Lord,
Forgive me for my shortcomings, O Lord.
Show me the dawning of Your Light, O Lord.
Extinguish all my worldly fears, O Lord,
Give me strength to hold my reins, O Lord,
Prepare me for my coming death, O Lord,
Protect me from complacency, O Lord,
Enshroud my sadness with some cheer, O Lord,
Pluck me out of selfish states, My dear, Lord.
,
I ask you for Your special help, O Lord,
You made me, my return’s to You, O Lord,
You are my creator and my Friend, O Lord,
You gave me life and will bring me death, O Lord,
I ask you through the sanctity, O Lord
Of the jewel of humanity, O Lord
The mirror of divinity, O Lord,
Forgive me and my community, My dear Lord.
.
And peace and blessings on that very one, O Lord,
Whose face brought longing tears out from the sun, My Dear Lord.
