Take away the hate in my mind, oh Lord;
I want to dwell in your blessed accord.
Father please make my evil thoughts to cease,
In my mind, oh Lord, I need your love and peace.
Even though others plot to do evil against me,
You Lord are able to protect and set me free.
Vengeance is yours, not for me to pursue,
I want to be molded in your image, pure and true.
Not of this world, hateful and compromising,
I seek to have a pure heart and to help others.
To be a real friend and caring like a brother,
Even though they succeed at taunting me with their evil crafts,
It gives me a chance to see how the Lord in me contrasts.
I know in the end, you Lord will be first to finish.
For now my God I want to remain godly,
I trust that the evil in my mind
You will diminish.
