Sharpen my senses to the presence of sin

Make me aware of its approach and appeal

Alert my whole being so I can begin

To flee from temptation as it is revealed

May i never be blind to the pitfalls

Sensing danger, feeling pain when sin draws near

Let me see the tragedy of heeding its call

May holy God be the only object of my fear

Make my conscience tender and tuned i pray

To the pure and righteous peace you impart

Draw me fully into your grace each day

So I might never grieve your holy heart

In your presence there's no room for compromise

And sin may never be ignored

Make me sensitive and guard my eyes

Create in me a clean heart oh Lord!

hone to keeness my perception

Lest my heart grow hard and so cold

Bu your righteous stone of perfection

Remove the dullness of my mind and soul.

In your presence there's no room for compromise

And sin may never be ignored

Make me sensitive and guard my eyes

Create in me a clean heart oh Lord!
