Life Preserver

Preserve our life, secure your own

Preserve our life-consecrate it to you alone

Not to us oh Lord, not according to our ways

But to You be all the glory, all honor and praise!

Preserve our life within your holy place

Reserve our life as vessels of your grace

Defend our cause, plead our case

Deliver us from the Evil one

Until your Kingdom Comes.

If we glory let us glory in the way that we are weak

For power is perfected in the powerless who seek

To cast their all upon the living altar made of flesh

The sacrifice made once for all- this bread thatís ever fresh.

Preserve our life within your holy place

Reserve our life as vessels of your grace

Defend our cause, plead our case

Deliver us from the Evil one

Until your Kingdom Comes.
