Lord, do unveil

Lord

do unveil

The more we strive

the more we fail

All the strife—they all come out to no avail.

Lord

they’re just not for your need

By “self”

we won’t succeed.

Lord

we confess

We are not able

Lord

unless

We have You; You’re all in all—You’re our success!

All we need

O Lord

is You

’Cause nothing else will do.

O Lord

we pray

Increase Thyself in us each day

And the “self”—decrease it ’til it’s done away.

Lord

we want the growth in life

We don’t want all the strife.

Lord

life’s begun

Two spirits mingled into one

Day by day

walk in the spirit and we’ve won!

Then the “self” will be decreased

And Christ in us increased.
