If I¡¦m ever so foolish as to choose death over life,

To think that the life I¡¦m living isn¡¦t worth it,

To destroy this temple,

If I¡¦m ever so narrow-minded as to think only for myself,

To ask my mom for a big sweet 16,

To get opinions after Friday Night,

If I¡¦m ever so retarded as to disobey my authorities,

To desire to prove my own ways to them,

To think that I¡¦m better,

If I¡¦m ever so blinded as to express my bitterness publicly,

To develop hatred against others,

To look down on people I barely know,

If I¡¦m ever so possessed as to start liking a guy for the wrong reasons,

To tell him my feelings for him,

To start dating the way everyone else does,

If I¡¦m ever so lowly as to hang out with the wrong people,

To long to be with those with negative influence,

To wear tight clothing

If I¡¦m ever so stupid as to purposely do wrong things,

To have the mind-set of temporary enjoyment,

To procrastinate and be lazy,

If I ever worship something I created with my own hands,

If I ever dishonor my parents,

If I ever steal to enrich my own household,

If I ever pervert the innocent into wrong,

If I ever withhold justice from those less fortunate than me,

If I ever commit sinful sexual relations,

If I ever murder someone secretly,

If I ever accept a bribe,

If I ever stray from the will of God,

(Some of these I am guilty of,

Some I¡¦ve never even came close)

I want you to curse me!

I want you to stop me right there! The thoughts, the schemes, the temptations

Expose and reveal my sin to all my friends, my family; my church

Take away whatever pleasures I may have

Never let that plan succeed

Don¡¦t even allow me to be able to carry out whatever I was thinking

O Please keep me from evil,

That I will not commit any of these

This is what I truly want

This is our covenant

So shall it be
