May Innocence be my offence
207 Words
O Lord bend my pride
Before you let my glory hide
In humility I wish to abide
Let your cross be my guide
In you I find what I need
In your house I choose to feed
May your statutes be my creed
From selfishness let me be freed
May my words be peace
May harmony be my space
Let your love in me burn like a furnace
May innocence by my offence
In the world I do not wish to be great
May the low places be my seat
My fears help me defeat
From ambitions help me retreat
May my place be located in justice
May truthfulness be my spice
To you Lord may I be a pleasing sacrifice
May holiness of life by my price
Hold me when I fall
Hear me when I call
In you I find my all
In your field let me grow tall
O Lord, why thy fear
When I lived a mortal
Banished I thought I bear
Through the clay of the Lords portal
Don't panic for me
Just pray as I told you
On my sick bed I lamented
Pray and sing for me
Do it always as the grace
Because I don't really know my fate.
