Lord, keep me from this evil and perverted age

Lord

keep me from this evil and perverted age;

Wholly sanctify my eyes—on You to gaze.

Satisfy my deepest part.

O Lord

preserve my heart.

Rescue me

Lord

from this dark world—it’s just display.

Shine in me

and show me

Lord

You are the way.

Nothing matches me but You.

Only Your life will do.

Lord

cause my love for You to grow in me each day.

Through this love

show me the world’s passing away.

Separate me unto You.

O Lord

my heart renew.

Don’t let me go; I’m here for You and this You know.

Day by day

Your life within me has to grow.

Though this world is so corrupt

I can and do love You.

O Lord

become a river flowing out of me

That the world may take a drink of You and see

That You are the only way

The One reality.
