In me You made, O God, a mighty test,
You gave me awe-filled freedom as my sword,
to cut through all distractions on my quest
to choose the best in service of my Lord.
You formed my freedom to make faith the first
of all the great decisions I must do,
to set myself aside and be immersed
in seeing, knowing, loving, serving You.
O God, to take the test You make me turn
to follow You or choose my own desires,
like wanting selfish things and thus to spurn
the harder, better things Your way inspires.
O God, I pray help me to take my blade,
fight for Your sake and, faithful, make the grade.
