Oh Jesus, My Heart Knows

Oh Jesus, my heart knows what is right,

Just and fair, yet my body fails to carry it out.

Oh Jesus, I do not want to do anything

To offend your spirit or upset you,

Yet from time to time I slip back into old habits.

I have no excuse,

For even the most devout will fall.

Oh Jesus, help me to live the Christian life,

Help me to take up my cross daily,

That I may follow you
with sincerity, devotion, and love.

Amen
