Lot’s Wife

Lord let me not be like Lot’s wife
Looking back with longing at the world
Let me not struggle with worry and strife
Over the fate of my wayward girls

Lord Lot’s wife looked back and turned into salt
A pillar of salt for all to see
Loving her children was her fault
Because she loved them more than Thee

Lord I pray for my children to repent
Turn their hearts toward Thee once more
Teach them that on You they must depend
For all our sins You bore

But I know ultimately they must choose
The path that they will take
And though some of them I may even lose
I must be steadfast for Your sake
