Lord,
So many things I need to be saved from...
My own strong will. It runs wild.
The plans I have made,
But not from your counsel.
Saved from a heavy heart holding me down,
From my eyes roaming to wasteful things,
The ways in which I am quick to judge,
From the lies of the enemy.
Saved from selfishly grasping,
Holding tight to what I need to share,
The greediness in my heart that
Always seeks more and then some more.
Saved from enjoying endless pleasures,
From missing time to serve, love and pray,
The many escapes that deceptively hold peace,
Not seeing what I need to repent of.
Save me.
