| One thing I ask of the Lord
|
| This is what I seek
|
| That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
|
| All the days of my life
|
| To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
|
| And to seek Him in His temple
|
| For this reason I kneel before the Father
|
| From whom every family in heaven
|
| And on earth derives its name
|
| I pray that out of his glorious riches
|
| He may strengthen you with power
|
| Through his Spirit in your inner being
|
| So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith
|
| And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love
|
| May have power, together with all God’s people
|
| To grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ
|
| And to know this love that surpasses knowledge
|
| That you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God
|
| Now to Him who is able to keep you from falling
|
| And to present you before his glorious presence
|
| Without fault and with great joy
|
| To the only God our Saviour
|
| Be glory and majesty and power and authority
|
| Through Jesus Christ our Lord
|
| Before all ages, now and forevermore! |
| Amen |
