O God, You know those wishes in my heart,
the worldly wants I barely dare to pray for,
the selfish-seeming things that are a part
of my desires so dubious I may stray for.
You know some hopes I should not have perhaps,
some slightly devious I am not so sure of,
I don't face fully so keep under wraps,
feel guilty for yet can't resist the lure of.
I'd like to pray for just what is Your will,
unsoiled by earthly ways and blest by heaven,
unlike what's in my heart so longed for still,
that You know maybe needs to be forgiven.
O God, help me tear out what is not true,
so my poor soul comes perfectly pure to You.
