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
