My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me.
Yet not as I will, but as you will (Matthew 26:39; NIV).
1. Lord,
You know unerringly
Just what we need to learn,
2. So everything
We face in life with prayer
Can help us turn
3. Towards you, Father,
And your Son,
Your Holy Spirit, too,
4. For you
Are our great Comforter:
The God who helps us through.
