rest, oh Lord, give me rest

that I may carry on

and walk this road

that taunts my soul

grant these demons—be gone

 

peace, oh Lord, give me peace

bring an end to my wars

send a message dire

of mutual ceasefire

and make me feel your peace to my core

 

love, oh Lord, show me your love

which I often overlook

remind me of your heart

keep me never apart

from the loving Father and his Holy Book
