From the distrust of your provision
Deliver me, deliver me oh God
From the distrust of your protection
Deliver me, deliver me oh God
From the lie that you are not a good father
Deliver me, deliver me oh God
From my tendencies towards self reliance
Deliver me, deliver me oh God

And loosen my grip oh lord
From empty fearfulness
And open my heart to the joy of your love
The joy of your love
The joy of your love
The joy of your love
This love you have for me
Yes loosen my grip oh lord
From empty fearfulness
And open my heart to the joy of your love
The joy of your love
The joy of your love
The joy of your love
This love you have for me
This love you have for me
This love you have for me
This love you have for me

In the faith that with you I shall not want
Strengthen me, oh strengthen me oh God
The faith in your ever watchful care
Strengthen me, oh strengthen me oh God
In the trust in your tender love for me
Strengthen me, oh strengthen me oh God
And in the knowledge of who I am in your sight
Strengthen me, oh strengthen me oh God

And loosen my grip oh lord
From empty fearfulness
And open my heart to the joy of your love
The joy of your love
The joy of your love
The joy of your love
This love you have for me
Yes loosen my grip oh lord
From empty fearfulness
And open my heart to the joy of your love
The joy of your love
The joy of your love
The joy of your love
This love you have for me
The joy of your love
The joy of your love
The joy of your love
This love you have for me
The love you have for me
