Lord, there
is so much in me
That other
people cannot see,
My weakness
and my secret pride,
The sins
that fester deep inside,
The idleness
that seeks to shirk
The drudgery
of dreary work.
The thoughts
that wander when I pray
Like witless
sheep that go astray.
The self-indulgence
of a mind
To dreamy
reverie inclined.
The part
that hurries overmuch
And tarries
not to feel Thy touch.
The part
that speaks of me and mine
And not
enough of Thee and Thine.
Every Lent I
say this prayer
Lord bless
and help me to prepare
A soul more
fit to sing Thy praise
When come
the holy Easter Days.
