    Daily bread
    I desire no riches,
    I desire no wealth,
    I desire no prestige,
    I don't even desire my-self,

    I desire no power,
    I desire no glory,
    I desire no man,
    and I don't trust his story.

    I desire nothing the eyes can see,
    nor anything the hand can hold.
    It is better that I remain meek,
    so that I may glorify the God of my soul.

    I take no thought for the past,
    nor for that which lies ahead,
    for it is better to walk in the spirit,
    and to trust God for my daily bread.
