Good In Every Way

O Lord you are my God.
You teach me and show me how to live.
When I look at you-
Favor is upon me and good is filled in me.
You are the light O Lord;
The sweet light that gives me life.
It makes my inner being alive.
So in you that i take pride.
For you are, O Lord Good in every way.
Turn my eyes away from myself,
For there is nothing good in me.
Turn me heart toward your thoughts 
And lead me in your eternal love,
The way that is the Truth of Life.
