LINES OF THOUGHT © 2013
Lord, when I rise again, may I be pure,
Renewed by Your grace, strong and secure.
In Your eyes, may I be light and truth,
And may there be no shadow of wickedness in my youth.
May my heart, upon rebirth, be clean,
Free from the offences that once held it in between.
Guide me on the path of Your justice and grace,
So that in You, I may live in holiness' embrace.
Lord, as I rise, may my soul find peace,
May Your love transform me, recreate, and release.
And before You, may I stand without blemish, without stain,
Living eternally in Your immaculate reign.
For it is in You, Lord, that I find redemption,
May each day be a new song, a heartfelt intention,
Of purity, of grace, of sincere love's glow,
So that in Your eyes, I may be what You know.
