Live Through Me, Lord

Live through me

Lord! Though old man’s termination

Brought to an end my life apart from Thee

Yet

joined to Thee

I still need transformation

To shine Thee forth with all saints corporately.

Live through me

Lord; let self no longer bind Thee;

Remove all traces of its hold on me.

Be magnified in every word and action;

In me

Thy living manifested be.

Live through me

Lord; my soul be emptied wholly

All pleasures and self-seeking put away;

Be Thou my aim and satisfaction solely

Our loving union e’er through me convey.

Live through me

Lord

and make my heart Thy dwelling

Each chamber fully occupied by Thee;

Thought

feeling

will

infuse with Thee completely

Till we’ve one living out unceasingly.

Live through me

Lord; stop independent action;

Each breath

each step

would in Thy Body be.

Build us in Thee till we’re Thy full reflection

Thy corporate one new man eternally.
