That He May Increase

May the LORD increase
In my life, day by day
And may I decrease
I earnestly pray.

Do give thanks in all
Whatever God brings
Do praise His Name
For truly, everything.

Are you thankful this year
Recalling God’s kindness
His daily, unfailing love
Despite our flaws, and blindness?

And while God offers good
Temptation brings evil
Understanding our choice
Be His righteous people.

LORD, teach me to pray
To wrestle in prayer
Persistent, prevailing
Your victories, declare.

Therefore, welcome your trials
Your waiting, and suffering
Since God is perfecting
Become His fragrant offering.

For by faith, we’re made righteous
Yeshua, atoned for our sin
Took our curse, on a tree
To makes us holy, within.

In God’s Vine, keep abiding
As His branch, bearing fruit
Stay dependent, keep praying
Christ-likeness, your pursuit.

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

In Jesus’ suffering, God’s path
To bless fallen man
In His cross, our daily dying
God has shown us, His plan.
