Oh, Lord, grant us revelation

lyricist: Adapted
Composer: Annie F. Harrison

Oh

Lord

grant us revelation

Grant us light and sight to see

That as life

within our spirit

Thou art our reality;

And that from within our spirit

Now You must possess each part

Spreading out to all our being

Making home in all our heart.

It is not the outward action—

Pure behavior

conduct good

Proper poise and perfect manners

Doing what we think we should;

But it’s Christ

a living Person

Mingled thus with us within

Spreading into all our being

So that we might live by Him.

Oh

Lord

let our every action

Everything we do and say

Come from Thee alone

experienced

In a real and inner way.

We reject the empty teachings

Leave the methods and the strife.

Let our only way of living

Be the overflow of life!

Following the inner feeling

Living in the overflow

Moving in the rich anointing

Not by what we think or know

Nothing through intent or motive

Or with purpose duly done

But just following this feeling

Living by the living One!

Thus we’re sanctified completely

Saturated thoroughly;

Not the old religious concept:

Separated doctrinally.

But ’tis Christ Himself within us

Added to our every part

All supplying

satisfying

Making home in all our heart.
