I no longer pray for my bad habits to be cut free,
Instead, I pray that His love claims victory.
I can try to love the world just as much as I love Him,
But if the world wins me, he loses a fruitful fig tree.

I no longer pray for compensation in haste,
Instead, I pray for His unwavering grace.
Favors are no longer kind or free,
In this world, everyone is all about "me".
Yet, in my attempts to offer loyal consonance,
In the back of my mind, I'm asking "Where is my repayment?"

I no longer pray for better situations,
Instead, I pray that through Christ, I am strengthened.
He blessed you with free will, just as He blessed me.
So, when the demons in man command God's people be put to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
