Longing for the day ( Read more... )

I wish I was a better friend,
But I fail every day
It's God working within me
When I remember to pray

Lord, take away my pen
If I do not worship Thee
If the things I write
Bring glory at all to me.

Lord, take away my voice
If I do not worship Thee
If the things I speak
Bring glory at all to me.

The tears come because I love you,
And wish I could be a better friend
But I know the best thing I can do
Is encourage you to on God depend

God if you will have my life
Take it away from me
Make me die daily for you
And from sin, set me free

Make me live my life for you,
Make me to want your will
Make me to despise my life,
And hide in thy holy hill

Dash my pride in pieces, Lord
Make me seek you alone
With my whole heart and life,
Make me come before thy throne

I want to play a song for You
Upon a lovely harp
You can help me stay in tune
Instead of going flat or sharp.

If Thou wouldst tear away
Myself from all I hold dear
To draw me close to Thee
And put within me Godly fear

If Thou wouldst tear my heart
From those things I love most
Consume me with Thy love
That in Thee my soul might boast

I give to Thee my Samuel,
For Thou hast heard my prayer
I lend him to Thee, Lord,
And entrust him in Thy care.
