A living sacrifice for Christ Archives - Page 9 of 12

Take Me Deeper

Take me deeper, dear Lord
Beyond feelings and thought
Come fill with Your Spirit
To live, as I ought.

So, not passive withholding
But praying, and caring
Preparing and sharing
Boldly go forth, declaring.

Yes, remade in His image
Now reflecting His goodness
The fruits of His Spirit
Stay filled, with His fullness.

So, rejoice always in God
For we’re bound, by His love
Let your heart overflow
Filled from heaven above.

Love seeks not, its own
Is not provoked, nor evil
Nor rejoices in iniquity
But in truth, loving people.

For Jesus only, our Creator
Living in us, He can supply
His grace, ever sufficient
Simply trust Him, and abide.

May our leaders, seek God’s wineskins
A fresh vison of Jesus’ call
A holy people, disciple-making
Going forth and reaching all.

No longer to struggle
In life’s battles, then lose
A new creature in Christ
For His glory, to use.

Thirst for Jesus’, living waters
And walk in God’s Spirit
Set your mind on His Word
“LORD, this vessel, daily fill it”.

A faith based on facts
So fully supported
In the LORD God, eternal
Who created and ordered.
