Agency of Man (Ma. Theresa de Vera Abubo)
O great gift of power and will
Thou has entrusted us forever
To become agents unto ourselves
And choose good over the evil one
Our eyes were opened into greater light
As we choose to follow thine precepts
Our eyes were dimmed by darkness
As we disobey thine commandments
Thou has redeemed as from the fall
Thou has overcome the demands of justice
The way for us to be cleansed from sin
And choose the path that leads to thee again
O guide us know thine will forever
Through thine Holy Spirit of truth
And choose not the will of the flesh
As the devil desires for it
Help us discern the good from the evil
That sin may not engulf us to death
And lead us away from thee
For in thee our soul will forever live
To whom will our choices be patterned?
Even unto Christ our Lord our Savior
The perfect example of the wise use of agency
As He submit to his Father’s will alone
May we then follow thine precepts
And walk with thee each day
That at last we may stand approved
Before thee on thy Judgment Day
