Lord, by Your mercy, I would take

Lord, by Your mercy, I would take This opportunity To let You live Yourself in me; And let You, Lord, gain me.

Lord, save me from the past, And save me from the future; Yesterday is over, Tomorrow may not be; I only have this day; I only have this moment.

And I would hope that You would take This opportunity To go as far as possible, As possible in me.

’Though many barriers hidden be, You know, Lord, deep within— Lord, I want nothing else but You, Lord, I want no one else but You.

So only this moment have I, This opportunity; This precious time I grant, dear Lord, Solely unto You.
