| Lord as I seek to serve You,
|
| May You find in me what’s pleasing to Your heart.
|
| I leave my will at Calvary,
|
| Taking on a nature humbled by Your scars.
|
| For I know it’s only through Your love,
|
| That who I am is hidden by Your grace.
|
| Let my desires be overshadowed,
|
| As I recall the purpose of that place.
|
| Hide me behind the cross,
|
| Where my gains become as loss.
|
| And only Your glory is in view.
|
| Your power will be revealed
|
| The more that I am concealed.
|
| Hide me behind the cross
|
| So the world sees only You.
|
| If I rely on my strength
|
| To be a source of hope for those in need,
|
| The only profit I would gain
|
| Would be the empty honor of my deeds.
|
| But with all of self behind Your cross,
|
| The splendor of Your love stands free to shine.
|
| Illuminating with Your power,
|
| Reaching souls so You alone are glorified.
|
| (End)
|
| Hide me behind the cross
|
| So the world sees only You.
|
| Only you. |
