Lord
I do thank You for another day
To practice living You
in You to stay
Lord
grant me the grace
Your life mine to replace
Two lives one
oh what a sweet embrace.
Lord
You are glory
You are beauty;
Divine and human woven utterly
Have mercy on me
that I may be
Joined to You
expressing You daily.
Lord
be my pattern
humble and lowly;
Save me from self and pride and vainglory.
Preserve and keep me
for Your economy
Live in me
possess me wholly.
Lord
I do love You
operate in me
Be my salvation
save me constantly
To hold forth Your word
life to others afford;
Shining You
so radiantly
dear Lord.
Lord
I’m so saturated with Your joy
That I am drunken
You as wine enjoy;
I’d pour out my being
as a drink offering
Upon You
God satisfying.
Lord
my desire is to be found in You
As lived out righteousness
give me this view.
Lord
clothe and stitch me
with embroidery
Day by day
inwrought Your gold in me.
