If my prayer be not humble, make it so
In these last hours, if the Spirit waits in check, help me let it go
And should my suffering double, let me never love You less
Let every knee be bent, and every tongue confess
And I won't get better but someday I'll be free
'Cause I am not this body that imprisons me
I read the magazines somebody brought
Hold them to my failing eyes until my hands get hot
And when the nurse comes in to change my sheets and clothes
The pain begins to travel, dancing as it goes
And I won't get better but someday I'll be free
'Cause I am not this body that imprisons me
If my prayer goes unanswered that's alright
If my path fills with darkness and there is no sign of light
Let me praise You for the good times, let me hold Your banner high
Until the hills are flattened and the rivers all run dry
And I won't get better but someday I'll be free
'Cause I am not this body that imprisons me
In these last hours, if the Spirit waits in check, help me let it go
And should my suffering double, let me never love You less
Let every knee be bent, and every tongue confess
And I won't get better but someday I'll be free
'Cause I am not this body that imprisons me
I read the magazines somebody brought
Hold them to my failing eyes until my hands get hot
And when the nurse comes in to change my sheets and clothes
The pain begins to travel, dancing as it goes
And I won't get better but someday I'll be free
'Cause I am not this body that imprisons me
If my prayer goes unanswered that's alright
If my path fills with darkness and there is no sign of light
Let me praise You for the good times, let me hold Your banner high
Until the hills are flattened and the rivers all run dry
And I won't get better but someday I'll be free
'Cause I am not this body that imprisons me

"I have sworn by Myself, The word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness And will not turn back, That to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance."
Isaiah 45:23 is told from the perspective of someone living in a nursing home who is thankful for his/her life and would rather be dead and in heaven because being alive is becoming increasingly painful.
