Oh Jesus, we who have turned our hearts toward You,
Keep us from slipping back into our old ways.
Teach us to notice when we begin to drift,
And bring us quickly home again.
Christ our Savior, You know our hearts,
You see what is true, and You see what is weak.
Let our way be the way of Christ our King,
For we cannot live this life without Your daily help.
When we backslide, keep us from excuses and hiding.
Teach us to return as David returned,
With humility, with responsibility,
With a sweet and honest contrition.
Lord, You have the medicine to heal our sin,
And to restore our loving devotion to You.
Renew us by Your mercy and grace.
Amen
