What needs, have I?
Can my soul be renewed?
Give me O Lord a clean heart.
Life has made me weary,
I plod on and on
seemingly achieving nothing.
Others distinguish themselves,
Not I, alas.
What should be my goal?
Can I reach it alone?
Have I not tried?
I found nothing worthwhile.
Only darkness and despair.
A daily life full of ills,
shortcomings all the way.
But you O Lord are full of mercy,
generous in forgiveness,
a giver of new life.
As I feel your saving grace
I am refreshed. I live.
Let me be the light,
a beacon of example
to others less unfortunate than me.
