| Speak, O Lord, as we come to You
|
| To receive the food of Your Holy Word.
|
| Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;
|
| Shape and fashion us in Your likeness,
|
| That the light of Christ might be seen today
|
| In our acts of love and our deeds of faith.
|
| Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us
|
| All Your purposes for Your glory.
|
| Teach us, Lord, full obedience,
|
| Holy reverence, true humility;
|
| Test our thoughts and our attitudes
|
| In the radiance of Your purity.
|
| Cause our faith to rise; |
| cause our eyes to see
|
| Your majestic love and authority.
|
| Words of pow’r that can never fail—
|
| Let their truth prevail over unbelief.
|
| Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds;
|
| Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us—
|
| Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
|
| That will echo down through eternity.
|
| And by grace we’ll stand on Your promises,
|
| And by faith we’ll walk as You walk with us.
|
| Speak, O Lord, till Your church is built
|
| And the earth is filled with Your glory. |
