The new covenant ministers
Are captives in a procession
Defeated and subdued by Christ
For His victorious celebration.
Lord
make me Your captive.
Never let me win.
Defeat me all the time.
Lord
make home in me.
The new covenant ministers
Are incense-bearers of Christ
Scattering His sweet fragrance
In every place—bringing death and life.
Lord
have the liberty
To fill me wholly.
Dear Lord
fill me daily!
Lord
make home in me.
The new covenant ministers
Are Christ’s own living letters
Inscribed with the Spirit of God
To express the rich Christ to others.
Lord
write Yourself in me.
Inscribe in my heart
That I may write on others.
Lord
make home in me.
The new covenant ministers
Are mirrors of the Christ of glory
Beholding and reflecting Him
So as to be transformed inwardly.
Lord
I turn my whole heart
To focus on You.
Shine in me
transform me.
Lord
make home in me.
The new covenant ministers
Are earthen vessels that are worthless
Who live by the excellent p’wer
Of Christ as the treasure—priceless.
Lord
You are so precious!
I give You my whole being;
Break me
renew me
Lord!
Lord
make home in me.
Lord
grant me the experiences
To produce such a ministry.
Through revelation and sufferings
Lord
constitute Yourself in me.
By Your all-fitting life
Lord
I learn to live.
By Your sufficient grace
Lord
make home in me.
