STAY MY HAND

 

Stay my hand, Father, help me to not sin.

Stay my mind, Father, keep my mind on You.

Stay my hand, Father, do not let me begin

To think of the evil that my mind wants to do.

 

Stay my hand, Father, that I might do your will.

Stay my mind, Father, to think on all things good.

Stay my hand, Father, and help me to instill,

Only Your will, not mine, only You could.

 

Stay my hand, Father, teach me to see,

Stay my mind, Father, teach me to be.

Stay my hand, Father, show what you want from me,

Teach me to be, Father, teach me to be.

 

Stay my hand, Father, and teach me from above,

Stay my mind, Father, and teach me your love,

Stay my hand, Father, show forth the Dove,

Teach me your love, Father, teach me your love.

 

Stay my hand, Father, and teach me to pray,

Stay my mind, Father, get it out of the way.

Stay my hand, Father, that I might learn,

More of Jesus, more clearly each day.

 

Stay my hand, Father, that I may see Him,

Stay my mind, Father, and let me begin.

Stay my hand, that I might give all I am,

To my Savior, Jesus, only to Him.
