Dear God

Free us from ourselves

Free us from our cells

Free these hearts from

The heavy chains of sorrow

Free these lonely souls

From darkness of lies

Help your light worries

And teach them to help

Help us to cleanse

Help us to put our hearts

On the line of patience

Love us and teach us to love

Teach us to lose ourselves

Show us the beauties that remain

Let us not busy ourselves

With the unrealities that seem real

Give us weapons sharp

To fight for the light

Teach us the way to reach you

Make us stronger in faith

And deeper in love

Day in day out

Amen
