Psallos - O Lord, With Shame Lyrics

O Lord, with shame I do confess
My universal emptiness
My poverty and pride
I cannot keep thee in my sight
Nor can I think one thought aright
Unless thy Spirit guide
I cannot from my idols part
Nor love the Lord with all my heart
Nor can myself deny
I cannot pray, and feel thee near
Nor can I sing with any cheer
Unless the Lord be nigh
Since Adam from God's image fell
On holy things we cannot dwell
The heart is turned aside
And none can raise to life the dead
But he who raised himself indeed
And for dead sinners died
Then let this mighty Jesus be
An all-sufficient help for me
Creating power and will
Thy grace sufficed the saints of old
It made them strong, it made them bold
And it suffices still
Then let this mighty Jesus be
An all-sufficient help for me
Creating power and will
Thy grace sufficed the saints of old
It made them strong, it made them bold
And it suffices still
And it suffices still

It made them strong, it made them bold
