VERSE 1
Heav'nly Father I want to be,
In holiness and in truth
But the love of flesh attacks me
Deceiving me everyday.
VERSE 2
I am but a feeble creature
In my spirit and body
All my frequent sins committed
Now a burden press'd me down.
VERSE 3
There is one command in my heart
Which Thou inserted in me,
For this reason I will follow
Thy love and Thy holy laws.
VERSE 4
Even if I want to be good
I will stay immediately
Thy word is always good to me
But evil, I do always.
VERSE 5
Many times I permit my soul
To Satan for temptation
Even though Thy word has warn'd me.
To depart from all my sins.
VERSE 6
Heav'nly Father, to Thee alone
Thou art worthy to save me
Thou my Saviour who cares for me
I'll embrace Thee all my days.
