O that You would bless me
And enlarge my borders
That Your hand would be with me
O Lord O Lord
O that You would keep me
Keep me from all evil
So that I may not be ashamed
O Lord O Lord
May Your kingdom come
May Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
May Your kingdom come
May Your will be done
Through me O Lord O Lord
O that You would fill me
Fill me with Your Spirit
So that I may know Your power
O Lord O Lord
O that You would use me
To fulfil Your purposes
That through me Your glory would shine
O Lord O Lord
