Search Me, O God (Orr)

lyricist: Edwin Orr, 1936
Composer: Maori melody

Search me

O God

And know my heart to­day;

Try me

O Sav­ior

Know my thoughts

I pray.

See if there be

Some wick­ed way in me;

Cleanse me from ev­ery sin

And set me free.

I praise Thee

Lord

For cleans­ing me from sin;

Fulfill Thy Word

And make me pure with­in.

Fill me with fire

Where once I burned with shame;

Grant my de­sire

To mag­ni­fy Thy name.

Lord

take my life

And make it whol­ly Thine;

Fill my poor heart

With Thy great love di­vine.

Take all my will

My pas­sion

self and pride;

I now sur­ren­der

Lord

In me abide.

O Ho­ly Ghost

Revival comes from Thee;

Send a re­viv­al

Start the work in me.

Thy Word de­clares

Thou wilt sup­ply our need;

For bless­ings now

O Lord

I humb­ly plead.
