God's grace and

with God's help

Things that have been done

own abilities and

As if made of power

bragging about myself

self-effacing

Let there be no foolishness

​

To our Lord God

The glory that must be returned

represent yourself

As a tribute to myself

The evil you are trying to overcome

Don't let me commit it

narrow-minded and distorted

in thoughts

Let me escape

​

God's Word

Let me understand it rightly

in the word of God

Let me respond with an example

Make me obey

according to God's word

Let me live

Let me survive

​

given by God

love and grace

Don't forget

For always remembering me

always to God

Let us be thankful

Let us praise you. Amen.
