When I have a good deed
It is Him
For I know who I am
And where I came from
When I have a good word
It is Him
For I know my tongue
And how it was before
When I have a good thought
It is Him
For I know my flesh
And what was in it
I know that nothing good lives in me
That is, in my sinful nature
For I have the desire
To do what is good
But I cannot carry it out
Who will rescue me from this body of death
Thanks be to God
- through Jesus Christ our Lord!
