not my will

Mahalia Jackson

If I ask for a thing
That I should not ask for
If I pray for a thing selfishly
If I ask for myself
And not for my neighbor
Lift this veil from my eyes
Let me see

Not my will
Thy will be done
Prayed Jesus
Let this same
Prayer be mine
Everday
If this robe of flesh
That I'm wearing
Makes me falter
Guide my feet
Hold my hand
All the way.
(repeat again)
