1. Sometimes in our spiritual walk
Our thoughts are filled with remorse
Lose all pleasure
In all those things we treasure
Beloved on simple things dote
Our hearts fill with divine hope
2. Sometimes in our walk
Burdened with guilt of impure heart
Fear of evil temptations
We begin our spiritual oscillations
Make us pure from all that’s wicked
White as snow and uncorrupted
3. Sometimes in our walk
Overcome with spiritual wrath
Like a little child
Whose toy has been denied
Instill in us spiritual tolerance
Grant us divine patience
4. Sometimes in our spiritual walk
We forget what we have been taught
Look down with spiritual pride
On all those people we deride
To be gentle and humble
Faithful to God and all His people
5. Sometimes in our walk
Lost in written works
Loss of all feelings
In all of our dealings
Not on written works and bitter discord
Our minds enlighten with understanding dear Lord
6. Sometimes in our walk
We ignore all our faults
Indulge in spiritual gluttony
Prayers, penance and acts of chastity
Your strong words employ
Fill our hearts with peace and joy
7. Sometimes in our walk
We are overcome with spiritual sloth
Feed off others praise
Our egos on a pedestal raise
Wash our hearts so full of dross
Our spiritual eye see sacrificial love on the cross
8. Sometimes in our spiritual walk
The path is pitch dark
Away from the path we wander
We cry out loud “Heavenly Father”
On His chest are we comforted
As He leads us home our loving Shepherd
