I am bending my knee
In the eye of the Father of who created me,
I am bending my knee,
In the eye of the Son who purchased me,
In the eye of the Spirit who cleansed me,
In friendship and affection,
I am bending my knee.
Through thine own Anointed One, O God,
Bestow upon us fullness in our need,
I am bending my knee.
Love towards God,
The affection of God,
The smile of God
The grace of God,
The fear of God,
And the will of God.
The smile of God,
The wisdom of God,
The grace of God,
The fear of God,
And the will of God.
To the wisdom of God, do on the world of the Three,
As angels and saints do in heaven;
I am bending my knee.
Each shade and light,
Each day and night,
Each time in kindness,
Give Thou us thy Spirit.
