My God, My God

My God, My God

My God, My God,

Eternal Thou,

Creator not Created,

Before time, space and matter,

In all things,

Known and unknown,

By your almighty hand,

My trust is in You,

And, only You,

You,

Who by your very will,

Breathed life into existence,

Gave every man,

Every woman,

The chance,

The choice,

To know you,

To love you,

To be in eternal relationship with you,

Give me the strength,

Give me the wisdom,

Give me the courage,

To do Your will,

Today,

And, every day,

Assurance of salvation,

By your will designed,

Is our faith in You,

Faith in You,

My God,

My God!
