Only You

Only You Oh God can still the wind
this eddy that I’m swirling in,
from all about me evils race
save me oh God by Your sweet grace.

In ever dizzying circles spinning
horrified by wickedness and sinning,
my weaknesses and omissions be
the pen that writes my destiny.

Only You Oh God can bring the peace
from all my sinfulness release,
pierce my heart with Your Saving Cross
and help me not to count the cost.

Let the world about me spin
just so long as You dwell within,
I give You all that is of me
I cling to You, please cling to me.
