and then, O God, to let You enter in?
You want my openness, what is my part?
Show me how I should set aside my sin.
My intellect tells me I can, I know,
I have the knowledge of what’s right and wrong,
my will balks at the better way to go,
I pray, for You alone can make it strong.
I sacrifice, and hope You strengthen me,
Your Scripture words show me the proper choice,
I seek Your truth in friends and liturgy,
in solitude I hear Your whispering voice.
From demons, world, and whim, I turn to You,
I close them down, so You I’m open to.
