When I have a good deed

It is Him

For I know who I am

And where I came from

When I have a good word

It is Him

For I know my tongue

And how it was before

When I have a good thought

It is Him

For I know my flesh

And what was in it

I know that nothing good lives in me

That is, in my sinful nature

For I have the desire

To do what is good

But I cannot carry it out

Who will rescue me from this body of death

Thanks be to God

- through Jesus Christ our Lord!
