Self thought all I have belongs to me
O, how wrong my thoughts were
All I have belongs not to me
Not even my body nor my breath
Nothing I own is really mine
Not my thoughts nor my being
All I have, I own is Thing
My heart, spirit and entire being
My flesh, my body, knows all of this
It wages war against You daily
To take the place which is Thee's
Come, Lord, save me quickly
Save me Lord, save me from myself
Teach me Your ways, Your true ways
To win over this monster, self
Teach me, teach me Your ways
Pass me through Your fires
Purify my thoughts, my heart,
Mould me to suit Your desires
Rid me of the yearnings of my heart
Take my being, my life and let it be
Take it all, leave me with nothing
Lest self destroys self and Mr
Take it all, leave me with nothing
