Life Preserver

Preserve our life, secure us, your own
Preserve our life-consecrate it to you alone
Not to us oh Lord, not according to our ways
But to You be all the glory, all honor and praise!

Preserve our life within your holy place
Reserve our life as vessels of your grace
Defend our cause, plead our case
Deliver us from the Evil one
Until your Kingdom Comes.

If we glory let us glory in the way that we are weak
For power is perfected in the powerless who seek
To cast their all upon the living altar made of flesh
The sacrifice made once for all- this bread that’s ever fresh.

Preserve our life within your holy place
Reserve our life as vessels of your grace
Defend our cause, plead our case
Deliver us from the Evil one
Until your Kingdom Comes.
