Jesus, Redeemer and my one Inspirer

Jesus

Redeemer and my one Inspirer

Heat in my coldness

set my life aglow.

Break down my barriers; draw

yea

draw me nigher.

Thee would I know

whom it is life to know.

Deepen me

rid me of the superficial;

From pale delusion set my spirit free;

All the entangled in me quick unravel;

Pluck forth each thread of insincerity.

Thy vows are on me

oh to serve Thee truly

Love perfectly

in purity obey—

Burn

burn

O Fire

O Wind

now winnow throughly;

O Sword

awake against the flesh and slay.
