O that Christ may make His home

O that Christ may make His home my heart

Spread Himself in every part!

Saturate and life impart!

That with all saints

I may apprehend

All the vast dimensions of my loving Christ.

Father God

forgive me if I groan;

For so long I’ve been on a plateau.

Now with tears

I bow my knees and pray

By Your Spirit make my spirit strong today.

As I came this morning to Your word

With no strength to even read a verse;

Yet my plea

is “Lord

I do need You!”

How You strengthen me

Your power within to prove.

I myself was losing heart each day;

Then the Lord brought some saints my own way;

I alone could not Thee apprehend

But with all the saints You now my joy have been.

All these years I’ve come the church to know

Yet O Lord

there’re things I can’t let go;

Yet within me there is an “Amen”;

O now joy I never knew in me’s flowin’.
