I don't want to fall away again

God help me to get in You.
allow Your love to cover my loneliness.
allow Your peace to destroy my insecurity.
allow Your strength to take away my weakness.
oh, Lord, envelope me....
envelope my thoughts and lead me Your way.
I don’t want to fall away again.

Lord, help me to know You.
allow Your word to teach me Your ways.
allow Your wisdom to guide me righteously.
allow Your truth to reach through my lies.
oh, Lord, envelope me....
envelope my thoughts and lead me Your way.
I don’t want to fall away again.

God, help me overcome myself.
transform my stubborness into openess for You.
transform my impatience into patience.
transform my hypocrasy into a life of truth.
oh, Lord, strengthen me....
strengthen me to become what You want of me.
I don’t want to fall away again.

Lord, help me with my problems.
transfrom my bitterness into love for everyone.
transform my hesitation into boldness for You.
transform my laziness into a willingness to work.
oh, Lord, strengthen me....
strengthen me to become what You want of me.
I don’t want to fall away again.
