Lord, I must have thy abiding presence
every moment of every day.
Inspire my every thought, guide my every act
and censor every word I say.
I strive to shun evil, to be pure and holy,
and to live most righteously.
In the center of thy will, oh lord,
is where I will always seek to be.
My child, be still for a moment.
Just what do you have in mind?
This word ‘center’, you’ve used,
nowhere in my word can you find.
While the ‘center’ of My will
may be a most noble goal to reach,
To walk within My boundaries
is what My word intends to teach.
My boundaries are solid
and upon them you can faithfully depend.
No man of earth, no demon of Hell
has the power to pull them in.
My will is not to restrict you,
my child, to a life of fearful futility,
but to provide the truth that sets you free
and give you life more abundantly.
