Tilt the balance in my favour, lord;
Favour me in every circumstance;
Fight my wars with foes, unknown and known;
Strengthen heart to live most righteously!
Cleanse my mind and heart, forgive my sins;
Fill my soul with grace and keep it pure;
Let me thank you, lord for blessings all;
Let me live your ways with gratitude!
May this vessel fill up to its brim!
Make me, Lord, instrument in your hands!
May I do all things, in ways you want;
Answer my every prayer to thee!
Can I live without trusting my God?
Doesn't a creature need a Creator?
How can I commit acts against my Lord?
Free me, Lord from satan's temptations!
Live, I will for sake of Jesus Christ!
Love, I must the God of truth and love;
Die, I shall by walking with my cross!
Bear I will my sorrows for Christ's sake!
