Protect me from this boring life

Diversify my days

Into your sea I want to dive

When I fall ill with haze

Too many faults that you will find

You've got to bear them all

Relieve me from my haughty kind

Pride goes before the fall



Don't pronounce me guilty when I lie

Be merciful to me

Have patience with me when I cry

For your charity

Be near me when I need you most

Tranquilize my soul

Delight me like a blooming rose

Then I'll reach my goal



Like a sea of flames

Like a sea of flames

Like a sea of flames

You warm me, day by day



You turn down the coolest cold

You're like a sea of flames

You give me shelter till I'm old

And you keep me from shame

You will be the guiding light

When I lose my way

You will lead me through the night

And also through the day



Like a sea of flames

Like a sea of flames

Like a sea of flames

You warm me, day by day
