Good morning, good God!
You've revealed so much to so many
but so much still lies hidden,
yet to be found, yet to be known,
yet to be found, yet to be known,
in the universe, on earth,
in my own mind and heart...
Foolishly, I sometimes think I know it all
and you, Lord, know - I don’t!
And so, I
pray…
Lord, keep me from thinking
I know more than most
and so much more than the next
guy...
Keep me from thinking
that I know it all,
that I've nothing left to learn...
that I've nothing left to learn...
Keep me from thinking I know enough
because I know enough to get by...
because I know enough to get by...
Keep me from thinking
I know myself inside
out
when only you know me that well…
Keep me from thinking
and thinking again,
over-thinking too much and too often…
Keep me from thinking
nothing’s new ‘neath
the sun,
and
that I've got it all together...
Keep me from thinking
that others don't
think:
open
my mind to their thoughts...
Keep me from thinking
my thoughts are all
foolish
- but help me
know when they are...
Keep me from thinking
I know better than
you
the
difference 'tween right and wrong…
Keep me from thinking
you’d fail to forgive
the worst of my thoughts and my
deeds…
Keep me from thinking
my life has no purpose:
fill my thoughts with deep trust in your
plan…
Keep me from thinking
the worst always happens
and help me to hope for the best…
Keep me from thinking
you don’t understand,
you who dwell in the depths of my
heart…
Keep me from thinking
I can do it alone
when I need all the help I can get…
Keep me from thinking
I'm always at fault:
help me trust all the good that I do...
Keep me from thinking
I know all there is
to know about you and your love…
Keep me from thinking
you’d ever forget me
or leave me alone in my fear…
Keep me from thinking
there's ever a moment
when you're
not thinking of me...
Amen.
