Challenge

Please teach me, O Lord,
To live by your Law;
Not to be ignored,
Causing me to flaw.

I want to obey,
To the very end;
I wish not to stray,
Nor try to offend.

Help me understand,
Follow what you taught;
Do as you command,
Do as you have sought.

I will always guard,
With all of my heart;
Never to discard,
So I can impart.

Lead me on the path,
Of your commandments;
Spare me from Your wrath,
Not abandonments.

For I am happy,
I am glad with them;
Direct and snappy,
To never condemn.

Direct my heart toward,
Your heavenly Word;
Forsake me not Lord,
Let Your teaching heard.

Rather than the wealth,
In corrupted ways;
My spiritual health,
Lost as the soul strays.

Turn me from vile,
Worthless things in life;
From earthly style,
That causes the strife.

Promise unto me,
So that I can fear;
And insight to see,
You are always near.
