As I think in my heart, so am I.
And so I think power, I think glory, and I think boldness.
I think a new day of manhood, and womanhood,
I think I'll pray,
Plant things that are good inside of me, just because I've asked.
Fix my heart and make it pure in love,
I want to be a replica of your beauty, your power and your glory.
I do not stand, alone. I come from somewhere and from someone.
Yes, I want to be a man after your own heart.
And higher and higher we go, from glory to glory.
In you, I walk humbly yet boldly. In you, I love purely.
Yes, I think I'm a man now, a human.
I think humility, love and kindness as power and glory and boldness.
I think a new day.
I think a new day of gayhood and lesbianhood.
I think a new day of light, a life of light.
I think a life of truth, righteousness and unimaginable, everlasting joy - starting now.
"God, please make me a man.
Make me into a real man, as a real man would be.
Work the soil of my spirit.
Remove the rocks and weeds of temper and selfish-pride that are there.
Wash away the fears that have controlled me.
Let me stand tall like a reflection of you.
Let me remember who I am.
I am royalty of galactic proportion.
When my parents forsook me, you adopted me.
You've sheltered me in the palm of your hand.
When I promise, may its glory shine back to your glory.
When I love, may my love bring glory to your glory.
You remove the shadows from within me.
In you, I am clean. In you, I stand tall.
In you, I'm a man as a man should be.
And higher and higher we go in the kingdom, the power and the glory."
