Original text and translations

English.png English text

Give me an instrument to show the way,
give me light that I might see,
unveil the shadows that can lead astray
and I will use my life to praise your name.

Give me an instrument to show the way,
give me light that I might see,
unveil the shadows that can lead astray
and I will use my life to praise you.

In times of worry, I forget my way,
but you have shown that I can see,
If I remember, I won't go astray
and I will use my life to praise you.

Show me the wisdom of your loving way,
that I might know how I can be
a gentle guide for those who've gone astray,
and I will use my life to praise you.

In life, in death, will I know you?
In life, in death, how can I serve you?
