How do I serve thee? Let me count the ways.

I serve thee from dawn through noon and night;

Even my dreams find ways to keep me in your sight.

My soul may try to resist, when feeling guilty,

But I am weak and often enjoy the actions.

I serve thee in whatever I do in the day;

Most times I don’t even realize how much.

I serve thee at work, by snapping out orders.

I serve thee at school, by excluding others.

I serve thee at church, by distracting my friends.

I live in my old self, with a purposeful child’s ignorance

I serve thee by ignoring the Holy Spirit moment after moment

With my sinful heart – I serve thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life! – and, unless God save me

I shall but serve thee, Satan, even unto death.
