35 (XI) - Lament, To be Loved by the World and God

So Father, pray, I beseech thee,
Pray I exchange my ways for your ways,
Your perfect Word fit for all our days.
Keep us away, keep us away
From the king of the world
Who hates your ways.

Free us Lord from his snares,
Free us from his traps,
So when we resurrect,
We’re overjoyed to say,
How blessed are we we’ve known
The cleansing wrath of God.
Thank you God you had us saved
From the devil’s love!’

Father, save us from the error
Of fitting with the world
Hoping more’d be saved.
For the king of this world
Wants the blind to lead the blind.
What use are the servants
Who’ve beamed their own eyes?
So pray Father, we keep your ways
That be appropriate in every day.
(And what’s a day to God, but a thousand years?)
