Your grace has revealed to me
A stained and bitter cup
Foolishness that is bound within
To be overcome by Your love
I was blind but now I see
Guide my soul to believe
A blessed hunger to follow Your ways
And strength to see and obey
Grant me sustaining grace, O God
To submit to Your staff and rod
For Your hand of mercy will deliver within
The root of foolishness and the curse of sin
Help this Your child, Father
And sustain him under Your hand
I praise You for Your love that is Your Name
That You know my weakness
And remember my frame
In Your love and mercy
My foolishness to be emptied
Replace with Your law and love
Your grace and promise is enough
You know, O Father, at times I will faint
It is then You call on me to await
You are everlasting; Your understanding,, great
To those who have no might
You increase strength
You are a Father who does not grow weary
You give power to the weak
And You take the youth who utterly falls
And mount him up with eagle's wings
"You are My servant, I have chosen you
And have not cast you away
Fear not, for I am with you
I am your God, be not dismayed."
Through our parents, God
Make us warriors in the land
Who will make them blessed
Arrows to fill their hand

Guide us in Your calling, Father
Our hearts are Your's
Guide us in what we invest them in
Sanctify and make us pure
We are prone to wander
Immature in how we live and treasure
Help us to live and remember
Your love, law, will, and pleasure
Though we often feel
Like we walk alone
Nothing can separate us
Our temple is Your home
We lift this cup we were born with
Filled with ignorance and sin
Satisfy us early with Your mercies
Redeem us, for we are thirsty
We will not be satisfied
Though we are filled
Only when what's inside
Is replaced with Your will
Give us grace to submit, Father
For Your hand of discipline is mercy
Grow and fill us with Your hope
When we are emptied
And drawn into Your calling
