IF THERE IS…

If there is still faith in me
Help me not to look at man
Lest I lose sight of Your Mighty Hand
And hope in myself

If there is still love in me
Then rid me of every hate
Till I only see people how You see them
And love them how You love them

If there is still pride in me
Bring me to my knees
Where I’ll see that You alone,
Are my Lord and King.

If there is still a song in me
Let it be one about You;
Until the whole world hears
How You gladden my heart.

If there is still a word in me
Let it be one from You,
Let me be Your mouthpiece
Forever, O Lord.

If there is any strength in me,
Let me not glory in it.
For it is only You
That can give a man strength.

If there is any intellect in You
Let it not lead me to folly;
Lest I say, ‘There is no God‘
And despise You.

If there is still a heart in me
Let it run after You
So at the end of my days,
It will be Yours
