Prod me with Your loving hands,
Stir me from my deep impasse.
I long to flee this stagnant rut;
My soul, my prison, deadened lot,
Which end is just to taste Your wrath;
So set me on the narrow path.
Thorns and thistles may line this road
But it leads me to the mutual abode.
Lift me up with Your mighty hand
Above this frenzied earthly land.
Set me on the mount to see
What the world can offer me;
Till I see the vanity from on high
And earthly desires I bid goodbye
And set my eyes on You.
Stir me from my deep impasse.

My soul, my prison, deadened lot,

Lift me up with Your mighty hand
Above this frenzied earthly land.
Set me on the mount to see
What the world can offer me;
Till I see the vanity from on high
And earthly desires I bid goodbye
And set my eyes on You.

Oh Lord Jesus! We just need to turn to You no matter what the world can give to us because it's just vanity and it doesn't give us the real joy. Our real Joy is You Lord. This song reminds me of the young people in Southern Philippines. I missed singing this with them with an overflowing heart fully consecrated to the Lord.

Yes, Lord. Set me on the mount to see that besides You everything is just a vanity. I just want to set my eyes on YOU.

Lord I bid goodbye. I set my eyes on You. Set me as a seal on Your arm and as a seal on you heart. My heart and my flesh fail, but You are my portion forever!

I gain nothing from the world, why I should follow their steps? May I have a pure heart that come to love God and always sacrifice myself to His eternal economy.

Nothing can satisfies us in this world. All things are vanity of all vanities.

It is the same, but in Ukainian:
Любляча рука Твоя
Хай веде мене, бо я
Лишити мушу згубний шлях,
Та дух мертвить душа моя,
Це виллє на мене гнів Твій.
Тож дай мені вузький шлях Свій,
І хоч цей шлях крізь терен іде,
Та в взаємну він оселю нас веде.
Тож міцною рукою Ти
Мене над землею здійми.
Згори подивлюсь, мені
Дати може що цей світ.
Я побачу марноту з вишини,
Бажанням скажу: прощавай, земним
І дивлюсь лиш на Тебе.
