If I must be a captive, Lord, then let it be to you; I cannot let another rule what I must be and do. If I must find the strength each day to cope and to command, then let me seek that courage, Lord, in your almighty hand. If I must be a captive, Lord, then you must captor be; I know if you possess my heart then I indeed am free. The powers and the potions, Lord, that promise joy and peace will never keep their promises, will never grant release. If I must be a captive, Lord, then hold me firm and fast; if I must lean on something, let my lot with you be cast. If Greed or Power or Passion, Lord, or Substance take control, forgive my weakness, grant me strength, and make me well and whole.
