Help me overcome a world of anger And live in kindness. Help me overcome this world of gossip And rest in silence. Help me overcome a lazy world And live with discipline. Help me overcome a world that has forgotten You And live in daily gratefulness. You conquered all temptation and live in me. Rise up, my God. Be strong in my heart and overcome, For the greatest challenge I will face Lies in my own deceitful desires. To help me overcome this world, please destroy my desire for it. I want to be single of heart, only longing for You, My Christ, my captain. —Ryan Skoog”
