I am human; let my light lite on. photo by Nahid

Grip your arms with both hands until It feels absolute, say!
Save me, Lord! from my thoughts the ones that stray Calling your name,
How do I know? Help me through my thoughts.

Grip your arms with both hands until It feels absolute, say!
Protect me Lord from my deepest desires, seemly only indulging can quench them,
How do I not give in? Kindly, Curb my desires.

Grip your arms with both hands until It feels absolute, say
Redeem me of mental exhaustion Lord, ill Rein’s malicious.
How do I turn away? Swift me out

Grip your arms with both hands until It feels absolute, say!
Forgive me, Lord! my continual err. As light opens, darkness always wants to close upon it.
I am human; let my light lite on.

Grip your arms with both hands until It feels absolute, say!
Save me, protect me, redeem me, forgive me, Lord! Negate any negativity beyond me.
I call on You, Dear God.
