Make my hands full, I pray, dear Lord

Make my hands full

I pray

dear Lord;

Full of the Christ enjoyed each day.

E’en now I come to You for more

Empty for You; fill me today.

Make my hands full today

O Lord.

You lived a life all absolute.

I lay my hands upon You

Lord

In union

grafted

one with You.

Make my hands full right now

O Lord

That I’d partake of You today.

By eating of Your living Word

My old self would be purged away.

Make my hands full

my Savior Lord.

You were made sin and judged by God

That all my sins may be no more.

I would

each day

apply Your blood.

Make my hands full; You are my peace.

In everything

I’d talk to You

With God no longer enemies

Enjoying peace with all saints

too.

Make my hands full; this is my prayer.

Remind me

Lord

how rich are You.

I’d on Thee labor

to prepare

To offer Christ in worship true.

Make my hands full with only You;

Nothing of self

but all of Christ.

Savor so sweet and fragrant

too

Rises to God

now satisfied.
