about

Based on the Collect (focused prayer) for the Fifth Sunday in Lent from the Book of Common Prayer:

Almighty God, you alone can bring into order the unruly wills and affections of sinners: Grant your people grace to love what you command and desire what you promise; that, among the swift and varied changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

lyrics

VERSE 1
Our minds are fickle and our wills are flighty,
They flit about like dry petals in the wind.
Feelings chase their tails, they turn and tumble;
Our inmost selves are all undisciplined.

VERSE 2
No, we cannot control the will’s affections,
Our hearts are all self-centered, they cannot hold.
We don’t even know what we desire,
Without a cause or goal our lives unfold.

VERSE 3
You could constrain or force our wills to order,
But then Imago Dei in us would be lost.
We would be machines instead of humans
But God would have His friends whate’er the cost.

VERSE 4
Let Jesus shape our minds and wills, O Father.
Yes, let Him change our hearts by His holy grace.
Help us freely love what you desire,
And let us will your will and seek your face.
