David Novak - 47 lyrics

Forgive me, God, if this is wrong, But I believe it isn't so; For I have had this pa**ion strong Since in my early days of woe. But let Thy will be done, not mine, And what I ask for never be Unless with Thy intent divine The hopes I have don't disagree. I'd rather be a pauper poor Devoid of even slightest ease Than have fulfilled this wish and more If with Thy will it disagrees. Thy mercy, Lord, is all I ask, To teach me to fulfill Thy task.
