In the desire to observe
In the desire to show love
There’s only one you should serve
One over all put above
But flesh is so desperate and weak
Your heart not one can discern
With pride it cannot be meek
To badness will always return
Remember me don’t let me wander
To the places my heart wants to go
My life force don’t let me squander
And victory’s give out to your foe
I know that there’s nothing within me
That’s useful to filling your goal
Can evil and devotion agree?
So death claims us all in its toll
Then when a visit at midnight
The enemy we cannot decline
Who comes to our bed without invite?
No mercy in all his design
And so look to me with your pity
Don’t give me the things I deserve
And let me enter that city
And with heart mind and soul let me serve
