For Your grace is sufficient and Your lovingkindness is forever

Lord, as I walk this path which is called my life on this Earth
Might I humble myself before You
Might I acknowledge Your Truth and Your Righteousness
May my life be a continual offering of praise and thanksgiving to You

May I rejoice in Your lovingkindness, in Your grace and in Your mercy
Guide my steps and direct my path and lead me into Your joy

For I am a man made of flesh, frail as the dust from which I shall return
Full of pride and self righteousness and enamored by the lusts of this world

Yet, You have plucked me out from this pit of miry clay
The unworthy man that I am
Redeemed by Your mercy
Transformed into an instrument of Your grace
Made new to proclaim the glory that is Your Name

But my flesh is strong in its weakness
Sin and iniquities have been a stronghold since my birth

I must determine to seek You when I fall
When enticed by the snares of the adversary,
When aroused by the wants of my flesh

For Your grace is sufficient and Your lovingkindness is forever
May I stand strong by the power of Your Might, by the Truth of Your Spirit
And proclaim Your wonders to all
