Mortification

Lord, let me not be ashamed
On that day.
The day when You shine forth
In full glory,
Eyes of blazing fire,
Hair like snow.

Oh, Lord, let me not be ashamed 
On that day
For Your Name's sake.

For the sake of Your name,
Lead me and guide me.*
Put a bridle on my ego,
A muzzle on my lips,
A yoke on my neck.

May I pull with You
In harmony, 
Effortless in the face of Your divine plan.

I beg you, Lord,
Let me not be ashamed
On that day.

*Psalm 31:3
