Father, may we one day have the grace to stand,
Humbled and in meekness, before the Son of Man.
We can only do this if we run this race of faith.
We can only do this with Your power and Your grace.

Free us from all drunkenness, and from all carousing.
Free us from anxiety.  May we not tire and grow drowsy.
That day will catch us by surprise, like a hidden trap.
That day will assault us all, on earth in but a snap.

Now is the time, to repent, and the time to forgive.
Now is the time, to turn to Him; and to Him, our lives give.
Jesus, set us free, from any sin imprisonment.
We must be wide awake, must be very vigilant.

We must grow roots of faith, that are strong and that are deep.
Watch, is what, we must now, with all our effort keep.
Jesus, it is for those we love, that on our knees we pray.
In a torrent of the world, they have been swept away.

Set them on the path, that is narrow and is straight.
Keep them on the holy path, that they reach heaven’s gate.
Lead them Lord, along the holy, and the righteous way.
We beg You, Lord, bring mercy, into our lives today.

(Based on Luke 21:34-36)
