With Your holiness, reproving me against sins’ destructiveness
So that I can avoid worldliness-filthiness…
My soul now clings to Your functional righteousness.

With Your truth, rebuking me against sincerity’s fallacy
So that I can vanquish falsity-deficiency…
My mind now seeks Your Word’s supremacy.
Thank You for admonishing me to uphold biblical Christianity
With Your grace, exhorting me against religiosity’s vanity
So that I can overcome earthliness-futility…
My spirit now depends on Your revival joviality.
Thank You for admonishing me to practice genuine stewardship
With Your mercy, scolding me against shallow zeal-showmanship
So that I can combat slothfulness-partnership…
My submission now yields to Your authoritative leadership.
Thank You for admonishing me to follow divine instruction
With Your command, pulling me against pride’s fortification
So that I can conquer disobedience-temptation…
My will now surrenders to Your guiding direction.

With Your help, driving me against compromises’ entrapment
So that I can participate in great commission-fulfillment…
My faith now ascends toward church involvement and kingdom advancement.
