Lord, I do thank You for another day

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.
