A note: the only change in lyrics was that he added the words, "Oh, Lord", and "glory". Prince Love... Thy Will Be Done Love... Thy will be done I can no longer hide, I can no longer run No longer can I resist Your guiding light That gives me the power 2 keep up the fight Oh Lord, Love... Thy will be done Since I have found U, my life has just begun And I see all of Your creations as one perfect complex No one less beautiful or more special than the next We are all blessed and so wise 2 accept Thy will, Love, be done Love... Thy will be mine And make me strive 4 the glorious and devine I could not be more, more satisfied (Satisfied) Even when there's no peace outside my window, there's peace inside And that why I no longer run (I no longer run) Love... Thy will be done CHORUS: Love... Thy will be done I can no longer hide, I can no longer run Oh Love... Thy will be done Thy will, Love, be done Oh, no longer can I resist (No) The guiding light (Guiding light) The light that gives me power 2 keep up the fight I couldn't be more satisfied (No) Even when there's no peace outside my window, there is peace inside And that's why I can no longer run Love, thy will be done {x3} Oh! CHORUS Oh Love... Thy will be done I can no longer hide, I can no longer run Oh Love... Thy will be done (Sing it) Thy will, Love, be done (Glory, glory, glory) Thy will, Love, be done (Glory) Thy will, Love, be done Martika didn’t write this RIP  | |

Here's a more specific description of how it all went then I've seen before, in her words: http://www.noise11.com/ne...e-20120626 | |

That's cool, hadn't read that before. It doesn't support the idea that all he changed was a word or two. Seems like the truth lies somewhere between the two extremes. RIP | |

The difference of his final version vs hers is that in his he added "Oh Lord" and "Glory". As for who wrote what to create the whole song, you're right - probably only she can answer that now. | |

Yes, I recall reading somewhere a while ago they're Martika's lyrics and Prince made the music | |

It would definitely be interesting to read that poem/prayer which inspired the song. RIP | |

I love the song. I think it is about the wisdom that comes with age and the end of life. I don't like the laser beam sounds. I wish I could get a copy of the song without the laser beam sounds. | |
