I desire to do your will, my God (Psalm 40:8; NLT).
1. Father,
Please remove from me
All foolish pride and vanity;
All judging of my fellows, Lord:
Your will, my mind –
In full accord.
2. Father,
Please remove from me
All selfishness and jealousy;
All quarrelling, and hatred, Lord:
Your will, my heart –
In true accord.
3. Father,
Please remove from me
All arrogance and gluttony;
All callousness, and slander, Lord:
Your will, my soul –
In one accord.
❤️
