Don t let me be a fake

 
Life eternal is at stake,
if we lose the Spirit’s pulse.
Don’t let me be a fake,
Don’t let me to be false.

Don’t let deceptive spirits
make a nest in secret thoughts.
Give me, Father, perseverance
and protect from all ersatz.

Spurious piety is spreading
to replace the real faith.
Give me courage, make me ready
to protest, when lies swathe.

When the world imposes dogmas,
which are not the Truth of God,
keep me, Lord, away from godless,
let them think of me as odd.

Souls moulded by casting
would receive the devil’s curse.
Losing life everlasting,
tell, what can be truly worse?

Save me, Lord, from all that’s hollow,
from ideas crafty, sly…
All I want is just to follow
Jesus Christ until I die.

Make my heart from falsehood clear.
Keep my name in Your Book!
While I’m here, all I fear
is to hear Your rebuke.
