Lord, may I not bow,
to the gods of this day
may my heart and soul
never to them sway.
May I not bend,
to the god of tolerance
may I not open my mind
to this ungodly audience.
May I not curtsy,
to the god of worldly greed
may I not pay the high cost
of following this god’s creed.
May I not fall down,
to the god of self-worship
may to this god I see
how it’s eternally worthless.
May I not lower myself,
to the god of secularism
may I not stoop for
the god of liberalism.
Lord, may I only bow to You,
the God of all creation . . .
may I always give to You
my full undivided devotion!
~~~~~~~~~~
” And changed the glory
of the uncorruptible God
into an image made like
to corruptible man,
and to birds, and fourfooted beasts,
and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up
to uncleanness through the lusts
of their own hearts, to dishonour
their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie,
and worshipped and served the creature
more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.”
Amen.
