Take Control – v2

I submit my body,
my will, my desires
I am mired in my clay
not knowing where to turn
caught in the whipsaw
tossed this way and that
burdened by passions,
by fears and doubts

I am consumed by my past
my earthly body, my flesh
my passions, my trials
I am not at peace
I have found no rest

Take control, oh Lord
of my fears, my passions
Give me peace, dear God
I long to serve you
bring me from the brink
the excess of my body
reign me in Lord
conform me to your path
