Lord, forgive me when I
As if kingdom pass by
Your kingdom and your will
Where righteousness reigns still
Help me these things first for to seek
You revealed unto humble, meek
Where I distracted be
Material things, see
May occupy my mind
No lasting peace I find
But grant me grace, that everyday
Matters trust they work out your way
If tempted on feelings
To rely in all things
Help me to turn to you
Inspire my faith anew
To tend to today while it here
Your presence in it shall appear
And so affected be
By some small things are we
Then our focus is lost
A while on you, the cost
Is that we panic, fret, or fear
And forget that you still are near
With patience help us to
Persevere, by faith view
You, understand your plan
As far as humans can
Answers to prayer you do reveal
Come to us forgive, restore, heal
