Convict us, O Spirit divine,
Unveil the depths where shadows dine,
Through restless souls, Your light align,
And lead us on the path divine.

In trembling hearts, Your truth instill,
Expose the falsehood, break the will,
Infiltrate the darkest corners, thrill,
With mercy's touch, our spirits fill.

Convict us of our selfish pride,
Where empathy and love subside,
Break down the walls we try to hide,
Restore compassion deep inside.

Reveal the chains that bind our souls,
The greed, the hate that takes its tolls,
With grace and wisdom, make us whole,
Release us from our self-made roles.

Convict us, O Spirit, fierce and bold,
Let righteousness our hearts enfold,
Transform our lives, make us behold
The beauty of Your love untold.

In humble surrender, we implore,
Convict us, Spirit, evermore,
Guide us on the path we explore,
In Your embrace, forever restore.
